Man Is Shot In The Stomach During Dispute Over Parking Spot In Front Of His Wife And Baby

A Texas man is recovering from being shot, cops say, in a violent clash over a parking space.

Shane Post had just been dropped off by his work buddy, who he says briefly pulled into a parking space at the townhouse complex near Dallas.

As Post headed inside, a neighbor wearing a bathrobe came outside, security camera video shows. Police say he was furious because the pickup truck was parked in his assigned space.

Shane’s wife, Irina, came outside carrying their 3-month-old daughter Penelope to see what was going on.

“Shane was telling him, ‘You need to chill out. We were parked here for literally 2 seconds,’” Irina said.

As Shane stepped forward, the neighbor suddenly pulled a gun out of his bathrobe and fired a single shot, hitting Shane’s torso.

His neighbor, identified as Nicky Brown, was arrested and booked on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

While Shane recuperates from his injuries, Irina says Brown has returned to the townhouse next door after being released on $150,000 bail.

The couple plans to move as soon as her husband gets out of the hospital, Irina says.
