FL: Palm Coast - Domestic Defense? Both Individuals Claim Self Defense

Beach Village Apartments is a complex at the eastern edge of Palm Coast on State Road 100, near the municipal line with Flagler Beach. “There was a domestic dispute between a boyfriend and a girlfriend, and a third individual tried to intervene,” the sheriff said. The boyfriend is the 22-year-old. “A struggle ensued over a gun, and the gun was discharged.” A sheriff’s release specified that according to the woman’s statements, she was struck and fell during the confrontation, causing her to hit her head. She then began screaming for help.

The woman “reported that a juvenile family member entered the room with a firearm and told Smith to stop,” the release states. “Smith allegedly became aggressive toward the juvenile, who then fired a shot that struck Smith. According to the statements, a struggle over the firearm followed in the hallway. During that struggle, an additional shot was fired, striking the juvenile in the leg. Smith then fled from the apartment and was found at the nearby convenience store.”
