That is not a title I expected to type. Lehigh Acres pickaxe attack suspect arrested after victim shoots him in self-defense, sheriff says - WBBH
He was told to leave a property. He didn't leave and shoved the victim with the pickaxe, causing him to fall to the ground. He then stood over the victim, and made threats. The guy on the ground shot him in the shin.
At first the guy didn't want to pursue charges, but after a second incident, he decided he had been through enough. Cops arrested the guy with the pickaxe a few days later.
Lehigh Acres, Florida is on about 5 or 10 miles east of Fort Myers, which is on the Gulf Coast, about due west of Palm Beach.
The hat tip goes to Concealed Nation, and The Ground Defense: Lehigh Acres Resident Shoots Attacker Wielding Pickaxe on Lake Avenue
