TL;DR

A shooting at an auto shop in Florida resulted in the deaths of a dissatisfied former customer and the business owner. The customer, Eugene Frank Becker, 78, arrived at the shop seeking out the owner, Jodie Stout, 52, and shot him. Stout returned fire, and both men suffered life-threatening injuries and later died in the hospital. The shooting was reportedly triggered by Becker's dissatisfaction with work done on his car two years ago, and he had come to the shop with the intent to retaliate. This incident is one of several recent cases in Florida where minor disputes have escalated into deadly shootings.
