Tampa man charged with attempted murder after break-in

TAMPA — A 31-year-old Tampa man who just returned from a six-month deployment with the Army is behind bars after he tried to break into another man's home and shoot him, the Sheriff's Office said.

At about 4 a.m. Wednesday, Hillsborough sheriff's deputies said, Corey Deandre Glover woke up and noticed that his wife wasn't at home. He called her cell phone, but she didn't answer, sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.

Glover walked outside and noticed that his wife's car was parked in front of a neighbor's house down the street. He saw his wife walk out the front door of the house, and he grabbed a 9 mm handgun from the trunk of his car and walked to the door, Carter said.

He broke through a vertical glass panel next to the front door and tried to get inside, but resident James Skinner pushed back to keep the door closed, Carter said. Glover was able to get only his arm inside, according to an arrest affidavit.

The gun fired, but the bullet lodged in the door, the arrest affidavit said.

Glover of 1040 Andrew Aviles Circle was arrested at 10:40 a.m. Wednesday on charges of attempted murder, armed burglary and criminal mischief. He was taken to the Hillsborough County Jail, where he remained without bail.
