One of the men grappled with Brown. It appears to have been an attempted disarm by the victim. Disarms are a dangerous and desperate tactic. As Brown and the victim struggled, the victim was shot in the shoulder. From Wink news:

According to detectives, two men were walking when they were confronted by Otis Brown Jr. of Lehigh Acres. He attempted to rob the men at gunpoint, police said, and one of the victims exchanged gunfire with Brown, shooting him.

Brown was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he later died. One of the victims was also taken to the hospital, but his condition has not been released.

Brown, 38, was a registered felon in Florida with numerous arrests in Lee County going back to 1998.

As said in the Blues Brothers his arrest history looked like a rash all over the police records.

Probably no protests. Conflict between two "protected" groups.

Two guys out walking "their" dog. From "their" apartment.

Hey gun grabbers, pay attention!

Mr. Brown was recently released from prison, was a felon ineligible to own/possess a firearm yet he had one.

How'd that happen?

I'll guarantee you he didn't buy it legally.

So leave we lawful gun owning citizens alone, go after the illegal gun brokers.
