MANATEE -- An 18-year-old man with a gunshot wound in his foot went to the hospital Thursday night saying another man trying to sell him a gun had shot him, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

The man said he was walking with his girlfriend on a foot bridge in the 100 block of 61st Avenue West at 5:45 p.m. Thursday when another male walked up to them trying to sell a gun, according to a release.

The victim said he told the suspect no, but the suspect kept insisting and eventually pulled out a chrome handgun and showed it to them, deputies said. The suspect racked the gun when he showed it to them and the gun went off, shooting a bullet through the victim's foot.

The victim went to Manatee Memorial Hospital for treatment, where he made the report. He said the suspect took off running after the gun went off.

These types of articles are seen every day in our local news. So much so that most readers have become desensitized to these crimes. Most people do not realize there are dangers associated with crime scene cleanup. Many of these scenes contain potentially harmful pathogens found in blood and other types of bodily fluids that may be left at a crime scene.

If an area were contaminated with biohazard pathogens, investigators or emergency medical personnel can potentially spread these pathogens to other areas by walking in blood, leaving behind medical waste while transporting victims for medical attention.

Crime Scene Cleanup Brandon, FL

Bio Scene Clean Up has been providing Crime Scene Cleanup in Brandon, FL and surrounding cities for decades.  Crime Scene Investigations are much more complex than what most of us see on popular television shows like “CSI”.

When a crime occurs, responders who perform the investigation appear and isolate the crime scene to look for evidence.  This process can take hours, days or even weeks depending on the nature of the crime. Investigators sometimes comb every inch of a scene looking for evidence that will help prove what actually happened, especially if there are no witnesses to the crime. In searching for these clues the potential for scattering dangerous biohazards occurs. In some instances, what starts off being a small area can become an expanded scene with many different types of biohazards.

If blood or other bodily fluids are present as a result of a crime, the chances of spreading biohazards to other parts of the scene are likely.  Pathogens from a crime scene can be redistributed by footsteps, medical waste being moved, dried blood becoming airborne particles and more.  These types of scenes need professional crime scene cleanup services provided by Bio Scene Clean Up.  Once investigators and emergency personnel have completed their investigation, the scenes are usually then turned over to the person who owns the scene or a friend or family member.

Investigators and emergency responders do not clean up these crime scenes. If you are not experienced in crime scene biohazard cleanup, call the professionals at Bio Scene Clean Up. We maintain all of the necessary equipment and certifications to perform safe, thorough crime scene cleanup in Brandon or surrounding areas.  Even if the crime scene doesn’t appear to have biohazards, fingerprint dust and other methods used for the purpose of investigating a crime scene may be potentially harmful. Bio Scene Clean Up technicians are experienced in the safe cleanup and remediation of crime scenes and through the use of specialized equipment and cleaning process are able to discover even trace elements of biohazards that may not be visible to the human eye.
