Sunday morning an unidentified man, armed with a rifle, opened fire at construction equipment used for the Sabal Trail Pipeline (STP). The gunman was fatally shot by police after he waved his gun at them following a chase:
The shooting occurred on U.S. 41 south of Floral Park Drive in Floral City after a chase that began in northern Citrus County. The chase started after reports of shots being fired around 9 a.m. Sunday at the pipeline construction site along State Road 200 in Marion County.
Today, Sabal Trail Resistance activists held a morning vigil for the gunman, holding signs saying “kill pipelines not people:”
