Long Island man arrested after shooting girlfriend over argument over possibility of zombie apocalypse like one on TV's 'The Walking Dead'

The Walking Dead? Try the walking stupid. That might be at least one way to explain Jared Gurman, the 26-year-old Long Island man accused of blasting his girlfriend in the back with a .22-caliber rifle following an inexplicable argument over the hit show "The Walking Dead," according to authorities. Gurman allegedly shot his 27-year-old girlfriend, Jessica Gelderman, outside his Williston Park home, according to CBS 2 News. So what was the pivotal plot point in the show that led to the shooting? The couple got into a heated argument over whether a zombie apocalypse was actually possible, NBC 4 New York reports. “He felt very adamant there could be a military mishap that would result in some sort of virus being released that could cause terrible things to happen,” Detective Lt. Raymond Cote said in a news conference. “She felt it was ridiculous. He’s passionate about it. And it escalated from there.”
