“Based on what I have seen
and what I know at this time, I don’t anticipate filing any charges,”
said Bill Gladson of the State Attorney’s Office.
Gladson
said he has reviewed the security surveillance video from the cafe.
While he still awaits final reports from the Marion County Sheriff’s
Office, he said the shooting appeared justified.
Samuel
Williams, 71, who fired the shots, has a concealed weapons permit,
according to the Sheriff’s Office. Under Florida law, a person is
allowed to use deadly force if he or she fears death or serious injury
to themselves or others. As long as the person isn’t committing a crime
and is in a place where he or she has a right to be, they are considered
to be acting within the law.
Nice shooting by the old guy who took on some young thugs.
This exhibit A for those who oppose concealed carry. Mr. Williams did not take action, who knows what else could have happened.
I just wish Williams were a better shot as one of the thugs has already bonded out of jail, free to commit more heinous crimes. Must have been Treyvon Martin's DA and judge letting the thug out of jail.
