SWAT situation unfolds in Spring Hill after man shoots his neighbor: sheriff <\/a><\/p>\nDetectives said the incident began when a child said a group of children playing outside was bullying her. She was not included in that group, the release stated.<\/p>\n
Adults gathered outside to address the problem, but things escalated when they began arguing.<\/p>\n
Detectives said one of the adults, Khiry Cole, 35, of Tampa, approached someone and got into a fight with them. He then pulled out a gun and chased the individual, firing two shots as they fled.<\/p>\n
Video provided by the sheriff\u2019s office showed people screaming at Cole as he chased the victim and fired the gunshots. At the end, a woman chastised Cole, saying \u201cReally?!\u201d<\/p>\n
No one was injured in the situation.<\/p>\n

Attempted Murder in the Second Degree Firearm \u2013 Discharge<\/p>\n
Aggravated Battery Great Bodily Harm or Deadly Weapon Firearm \u2013 Discharge<\/p>\n

\u201cThis situation escalated quickly and recklessly, putting lives at risk, including children,\u201d\u00a0Sheriff Chad Chronister said.\u00a0\u201cPulling a gun and firing at someone over a dispute is unacceptable. We will continue to hold those who resort to violence fully accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n
