Motorist defends himself against armed attackers

From Lake Mary, Florida:

A 19-year-old man firing a semiautomatic pistol at a boxed-in motorist near Lake Mary was shot dead by the man he was attacking early Saturday, Seminole County deputies said.

The motorist, whose name was not released Saturday, was heading home about 2:15 a.m. near Old Lake Mary Road and Egrets Landing when, he told deputies, he saw two cars following him. Sheriff's Lt. James Clark said the driver tried to turn around, but was boxed in by the two vehicles.

At that point, Clark said, a man got out of one of the cars and began firing a semiautomatic pistol at the motorist. The man had a gun and returned fire, Clark said.

His gunfire struck the attacker, identified as Desmond Willis, 19. Soon after the gunfire, the two cars sped off, taking Willis with them, Clark said. . . .
