Teen Shoots Man In Self-Defense Outside Florida Home

A 19-year old Floridian who was attacked in his car while parked in a driveway will not be arrested for shooting the 60-year old who choked and assaulted him, according to authorities.

The local prosecutor will ultimately decide if any charges are filed, but deputies with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office says the case appears to be one of self-defense. The bizarre attack took place on Sunday afternoon, when the 19-year old and a 22-year old friend pulled into a driveway of a home where the 22-year old was living. The 60-year old, suspecting the pair were trespassing, then blocked the driveway with his own truck and approached the car. Once he spotted the two men, he began arguing with them and demanding they leave.

The 19-year-old man then asked the 60-year-old man to move his truck because he decided it was best to get out of there. The 60-year-old then moved his truck but he came back just before the teenager left and started chocking him through the car window, according to deputies.
