Edward Druzolowski, 78, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting of his 42-year-old neighbour Brian Ford, the Volusia Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. Witnesses told deputies that Ford was trimming bushes over his property line when Mr Druzolowski came outside and allegedly opened fire. Mr Druzolowski reportedly told detectives that he threatened to shoot Ford and proceeded to act on his threats when “Ford didn’t leave.” Mr Druzolowski was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail and is being held without bond pending an arraignment.
