LEESBURG, FLA. -- Lake County deputies shot and killed a man who pointed a gun at them Sunday morning.
Deputies were investigating a reported assault when they went to a Leesburg apartment looking for one of the men said to have been involved in an incident.
Investigators say two men were seen fighting and one of the men was wielding a cinder block when witnesses broke up the fight.
When deputies knocked at the door, they were greeted by Andrew Scott, 26. According to a report, Scott answered the door with a gun and pointed it at the deputies.
The deputies opened fire, killing Scott. Inside the home, they found drugs and drug paraphernalia. Investigators say Scott has a violent criminal history.
