Security Guard Shoots Man Dead at Florida Gambling Den
Police said a security guard initially responded to a dispute between the man and another individual. After telling the man he needed to exit the premises, he later returned brandishing a handgun.
Following shots fired, the security guard shot and killed the man.
At some point, he began shooting multiple shots inside of the business where there were other patrons inside,” explained Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Steven Khachigan. “At that point, a security guard, who was also armed, engaged the suspect in gunfire.”
Though multiple gunshots were fired, no one else was injured in the gambling space. Police say the investigation is ongoing.
