Florida Man Shoots Himself in Scheme to Woo Coworker, Police Claim

In a stunt that redefines "love hurts," a Florida man allegedly shot himself to win over a coworker—because nothing says romance like self-inflicted gunfire. Police say the plan was to look heroic, but he mostly just looked hospitalized. Cupid’s arrow, meet reckless firearm discharge.
Investigators say Alexander Lefort, found shot at a Cocoa FedEx warehouse, staged the whole event using his own gun—hoping to win sympathy from a coworker who’d already accused him of harassment. His “you’ve been warned” note now echoes in viral true crime circles.
