Brandon Ellis and a friend followed 54-year-old Elliott Firby to his home in Sarasota, Fla. around 2 a.m. Once Firby arrived home, Ellis exited the truck he was traveling in, aimed a shotgun at Firby and ordered him to “Give it up.” Firby, a right-to-carry permit holder, noticed Ellis fumbling with the shotgun, at which point he drew his .380 caliber pistol and fired twice at Ellis, striking him once. Ellis dropped the shotgun and fled the scene in the truck he had followed Firby in. The police located Ellis short time later at a local hospital where had sought treatment for the gunshot wound.
