Toledo Waiter Stops Ex-Lawyer’s Shootout Aimed at Ex-Wife

TL;DR Summary
In Toledo, a former criminal-defense attorney pulled a handgun during Sabira’s opening night and aimed at his ex-wife, but the weapon didn’t fire because he left the safety on. A quick-thinking waiter, Tracy Cole Jr., tackled him and restrained him as onlookers screamed. Exton, who later testified he intended to pressure the ex-wife, was convicted of attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault, and his law license was suspended. The ex-wife’s identity was not disclosed, and prosecutors called the attack an attempted public execution.
