Hernando County Sheriff&#8217;s Office<\/a>, a family member called 911 after finding 52-year-old Francis Biegaj bleeding from his arm and didn&#8217;t know why.<\/p>\n<p>Hernando County Fire Rescue arrived at the scene and immediately began life-saving measures. <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, deputies were able to determine that the incident was the result of foul play after locating shell casings in the driveway and what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the victim&#8217;s shoulder, deputies said.<\/p>\n<p>Biegaj was rushed to a hospital, but despite life-saving efforts he was pronounced dead a short time later.<\/p>\n<p>Witnesses told deputies during the investigation that they heard several gunshots, and then saw a man walking away from the area with what appeared to be a gun in his hand.<\/p>\n<p>Deputies then said they responded to the home located at 89 Gillian Circle in Spring Hill and surrounded it, attempting to get occupants inside the home to come outside.<\/p>\n<p>
