Pinellas Park man, involved in dispute, dies in accidental shooting of self
A Pinellas Park man died this morning after police say he accidentally shot himself in the face during a dispute with his wife.
Police responding to 5271 87th Ave. N. just after 6 a.m. found several family members inside and outside the residence, and 57-year-old Dennis Eugene Emery with facial injuries consistent with a gunshot wound.
Emery was pronounced dead at the scene, police say.
During an argument with his wife, police say Emery retrieved a gun and threatened to shoot one of the family’s dogs.
Emery pulled the gun’s hammer back as if he were going to fire the gun, police say. But as he started to release it back to a safe position, the gun discharged as it was pointed at his face.
According to records, Pinellas Park police have had 34 contacts with Emery since 2012, including three arrests in a five-day period from Oct. 12-17 on charges including domestic battery, aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and leaving the scene of a crash.
