Kentucky man shot his roommate in retaliation for eating last Hot Pocket: police

A fight over food turned violent in Kentucky this week when police say a man opened fire on his roommate in retaliation for him eating the last Hot Pocket, reports local news station ABC 12.

According to the Louisville Metro Police Department, 64-year-old Clifton Williams became irate when he learned that his roommate, who has not been identified, cooked up and devoured the final mini-sandwich that had been stored in their freezer.

Police say that Williams initially began "throwing tiles" at the roommate, which prompted the roommate to attempt to flee the area.

Williams grabbed a firearm and shot his roommate in the buttocks as he was trying to leave, the report said.
