A shocking incident unfolded in Palm Bay, Florida, as a 70-year-old woman allegedly ran over and killed her own husband before embarking on a desperate search for their lost dog. The incident was captured on surveillance footage, leading to the woman facing new charges.
According to court documents obtained by Digital, neighbors called 911 after spotting Gregory Gore lying injured at the foot of his driveway, with his wife, Sally Gore, nearby. Responding officers reported detecting a strong odor of alcohol on Sally’s breath. It is alleged that the couple had recently returned from dinner when they noticed their front gate open, prompting them to believe their dog had escaped once again.
In an attempt to find their beloved pet, the couple decided to split up. Gregory searched on foot while Sally took their Honda Ridgeline. Tragically, as Sally was leaving the driveway, she allegedly backed over her husband, causing fatal injuries. Unaware of the impact, she drove around the neighborhood shouting for their dog before returning to the scene.
Police discovered damage to Sally’s car consistent with Gregory’s injuries. Video footage also showed her driving past the community center, still unaware of the incident. However, authorities later administered a field sobriety test, which she failed. A breathalyzer test revealed a blood alcohol content of .12%.
Sally Gore now faces charges of DUI manslaughter, as well as misdemeanor drunken driving. She was released on $5,500 bond but is prohibited from consuming alcohol while awaiting her court appearance on November 21.
This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence and the devastating consequences it can have. The local community is left mourning the loss of Gregory Gore, and Sally Gore must now face the legal ramifications of her actions.
