VIDEO: Armed Witnesses Open Fire After Driver Intentionally Hits Three In Florida Driveway

A 55-year-old man from Hialeah was arrested after allegedly driving into a group of people during an altercation in Fort Myers, injuring three. Witnesses fired in self-defense and managed to detain the suspect until law enforcement arrived.

FORT MYERS, FL (2-minute read) — A disturbing incident in Fort Myers Sunday evening resulted in three people being injured and a suspect arrested, thanks to the courageous intervention of bystanders.

According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, a verbal dispute in the 2000 block of Maravilla Circle escalated dangerously when 55-year-old Eduardo Lando-Matamoro of Hialeah drove his vehicle into a crowd gathered in a driveway.

Quick-Thinking Witnesses Respond with Self-Defense

Authorities report that after Lando-Matamoro struck three individuals with his vehicle, two witnesses responded by drawing firearms and shooting the suspect in the shoulder. Despite being wounded, he attempted to flee the scene on foot. One witness, however, was able to physically restrain him until deputies arrived. Bodycam footage released by the sheriff’s office shows the suspect pinned in a headlock as deputies made the arrest.

Lando-Matamoro was hospitalized due to his injuries and subsequently charged with three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno commended the bystander’s bravery, stating, “Their quick actions made a real difference.” He emphasized the importance of community vigilance and praised his deputies for their swift response.

While the situation ended with the suspect in custody, this incident raises crucial conversations about personal safety, community responsibility, and the lawful use of firearms in self-defense scenarios. Florida law permits the use of force, including deadly force, under the state’s “Stand Your Ground” statute when a person reasonably believes it’s necessary to prevent imminent harm.

Such events also highlight the need for concealed carriers and armed citizens to have a thorough understanding of both their rights and responsibilities when choosing to intervene during a violent confrontation.

Safety Tip: Always understand your state’s laws on self-defense and the justified use of deadly force. Situational awareness and proper training can be the difference between lawful protection and legal trouble.
