Another Shooting at Half-Time(s)

According to Central Florida News 13, a man was shot early this morning in downtown DeLand at a popular Stetson hang-out, Half-Time (or, as most students refer to it, "Half-Times"). This is the second shooting at Half-Time in about as many years. Neither time was a Stetson student involved, but it's still creepy.

Despite this weirdness going on, Half-Time(s) seems to still be the place to be in DeLand, which should tell you a little bit about DeLand. When I was at Stetson, I tried to steer clear of it as much as possible anyway (and this was before any shootings occurred there) because the floor creaked and sagged. I know, it seems like just a tiny detail, but it's a two-story building and I never liked deciding between the lesser of two evils: potentially falling through the floor while on the second story, and potentially being fallen on top of while on the first story. Now, we are presented with the choice between the lesser of three evils: fall, be squished, or get shot. I choose none!
