A Florida man was arrested Monday after shooting an AR-15 assault-style rifle at a U.S. Census worker who had come near his property.
Flagler County deputies were called to a home in Bunnel, about 70 miles north of Orlando, around 6:15 after the Census worker reported that Michael Cooper, 32, had fired a shot at him, according to WKMG-TV.
Neighbors told officers that the Census worker had parked on the street, away from Coopers home, in a vehicle that identified him as a Census worker. The worker was also wearing a lanyard that identified him as a Census worker. The man was also clearly heard identifying himself as a Census worker.
Witnesses told officers that Cooper started screaming at the man as soon as he began approaching Cooper, who was on the homes porch. After yelling at the man to get off his property, Cooper allegedly went inside the home and returned with a black rifle and chambered a round.
As the Census worker turned and walked away, he heard a gunshot. The victims wife, who was in the car the Census worker had driven to the scene, then began honking her horn as Cooper allegedly raised the rifle to aim at the victim.

Yeah, I missed this.

“Florida man arrested after shooting AR-15 at Census worker”
a simple, “Get off my lawn!” would have sufficed ...
I sent in how many people live here, they do not need to know the number of bathrooms in the house.
That seems entirely reasonable.
My whole problem is the amount of information they’re requesting. I want to answer only what I absolutely have to, no more! I tried filling out on-line, however, it requested information that I will not provide. What exactly am I required to devulge? Do you know the minimum?
That is actually a bit more then necessary.
Do I have to provide the sex and ages of the people living here? I just want to say 3 America citizens live here, goodbye.
I do it but I do not think it is required. I think adult or child is required but would not be the first time I was wrong.
Good enough to repel the Grunion Invasion.
I nicked the census man.
