The daughter of an Army veteran killed over a parking space broke down in tears as she revealed they had only recently rekindled their relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New Jersey native Bart Diguglielmo, 62, a retired staff sergeant with the US Army, was shot dead by a female shopper outside a store in North Lauderdale on Tuesday afternoon in a deadly confrontation captured in a chilling video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just don\u2019t think anybody deserved to lose their life over a parking spot,\u201d his daughter, Amanda, told Local 10 in an emotional interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe was a good man,\u201d she said before breaking down in tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She admitted that her father wasn\u2019t \u201cperfect,\u201d revealing that they had only recently repaired their relationship after being estranged for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Amanda insisted her father would never leave a woman feeling so threatened she would have to shoot him in self-defense, which the so-far-unidentified shooter told cops after she was detained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI heard one news site say it was over a parking spot. Another says it was because my dad was making some type of advance towards the woman, which I will completely debunk because my dad is not that person,\u201d the grieving daughter said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not perfect, but not someone that would do this to this extreme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amanda said she was \u201chesitant\u201d to talk but wanted her father \u201cto be remembered for who he was and not who the media is portraying him to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video shows Diguglielmo arguing with the unidentified woman \u2014 who suddenly pulled out a gun and shot him. He clutched his stomach and fell to the gun, with witnesses saying the shooter continued shouting at him even as he lay on the ground bleeding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diguglielmo, originally of Hammonton, New Jersey, but now living in Lauderhill, Florida, was rushed to Broward Health Medical Center, where he later died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shooter remained at the scene after the shooting and was detained for questioning, detectives confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She maintained she only fired in self-defense and is cooperating with the investigation, officials said, saying the investigation is still looking at whether charges should be filed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
