Helen Staudinger, 92, wanted a kiss and didn't handle rejection well. The central Florida woman fired a pistol four times at her 53-year-old neighbor's house after he refused to kiss her, Reuters reported.

Dwight Bettner, a former law enforcement officer and boilermaker, said his elderly neighbor has apparently had a crush on him since he moved in six months ago. "I've taken her trash out for her, just neighborly stuff," Bettner said. "I guess she just took that as something else."

92岁老妪索吻被拒后开枪

       路透社消息，来自佛罗里达中部的92岁老妪海伦•施陶丁格向53岁的邻居德怀特•贝特纳索吻遭到拒绝后，竟然用一把半自动手枪向邻居的房子开了四枪。

       贝特纳曾是一名执法官和锅炉制造工。他说自打半年前他搬过来以后，他这位年迈的邻居就好像迷上了他。贝特纳说：“我帮她扔过垃圾，你知道的，邻居间的互相帮助嘛。但是她好像有点自作多情了。”

       施陶丁格日前已被警方逮捕。
