Shot in Florida (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rid

'shot' is the definition.

'in florida' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RID' is hidden in the letters of 'florida'.

(Other definitions for rid that I've seen before include "Lose, shake off" , "Disabuse" , "Clear, remove" , "Free from something unpleasant" , "Free (someone of something unwanted)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Independent.
