Fox35Orlando.com - A 78-year-old Florida man confronted
his neighbor – who was trimming trees along their property lines Sunday evening – with a gun to get him off his property, then shot and killed him, authorities said.
Edward Druzolowski was arrested and booked into the Volusia County jail overnight on a charge of second-degree murder, according to the Volusia Sheriff's Office. He's accused of shooting and killing his neighbor, 42-year-old Brian J. Ford, who was apparently trimming overgrown tree limbs by a fence.
Druzolowski told deputies he got his 357 Magnum revolver out of his nightstand and walked outside to the porch to confront his neighbor about being on their property. He reportedly told his neighbor to get off his property to which Ford reportedly told him to "mind your business."
He then pointed the gun at his neighbor and threatened to shoot him. Ford reportedly walked towards him and did not stop.
"Get off my property right now," he reportedly told Ford, according to the report. "Stop right now or I'll shoot," he said.
Druzolowski told deputies that his gun holds six rounds and that he usually keeps the first to empty. He pulled the trigger once, but Ford reportedly kept walking towards him so he fired again, according to the report. Ford was hit in the chest, he thought.
Mr.Ford will not be trimming any more trees.
Neither will Mr. Druzolowski...

If the younger man was indeed advancing on the older man, presumably while carrying an implement capable of cutting tree limbs which would qualify as a weapon than odds are good this could be a case of self defense. Depends on the physical evidence, any possible witnesses etc. And of course the agenda of the DA.
