78-year-old accused of killing neighbour over tree-trimming dispute in Florida

, Druzolowski’s wife told police that her husband didn’t mean to kill Ford, “he just meant to scare him.”

In Druzolowski’s interview with police, he said he told Ford “to get off his property and Brian said something to the effect of, ‘mind your business’ followed by some cuss words.” Druzolowski then pointed his .357 Magnum revolver at him and Ford allegedly “said something like, ‘You are pointing a gun at me, are you going to shoot me?’ and moved closer” to Druzolowski.

The arrest affidavit states that Ford kept walking closer to Druzolowski, even when the 78-year-old said, “Stop right now or I’ll shoot!”“Brian kept walking closer to him and that’s when he pulled the trigger for the first time,” the court document reads. “He said his firearm holds 6 rounds in the cylinder, but he keeps the first two empty for safety reasons. He stated Brian heard the gun click and continued to advance towards him, so he pulled the trigger the second time.

Ford’s mother Linda says Druzolowski shot her son “point blank,” and “put the gun right up to his heart and pulled the trigger.”“He was wonderful to his children. He was wonderful to me all the time. He was handy. He would help anybody at any time. He would drop everything,” she said.and is being held without bond.
