Police Shoot Man Getting Cigarettes From Car In His Own Driveway

Probably for his own good


Lying in a hospital bed the night after he was shot by Escambia County sheriff's deputies in his own front yard, Roy Middleton only had one question: Why?

Middleton, 60, of the 200 block of Shadow Lawn Lane in Warrington, was shot in the leg about 2:42 a.m. Saturday while trying to retrieve a cigarette from his mother's car in the driveway of their home.
