Cops: Man Shoots at Late-Arriving Workers (AP)

NORTH PORT, Fla. - A 64-year-old man got so angry at a pair of grout workers who showed up seven hours late that he got his gun and took a shot at their truck, police said.

Agron Henci told police he was defending himself because he felt threatened after an argument with the men Monday. But officers charged him with two counts of attempted murder and took him to jail, where he remained Wednesday with a $100,000 bond.

Henci told officers that he ordered the men to leave after they showed up at 3:45 p.m. to do a job that was promised at 9 a.m. One of the workers became angry, called him names and kicked his front door, he said.

The men told police Henci got the gun and threatened to kill them. As they were leaving, Henci appeared in the driveway with the gun and shot at the truck. They drove off and called police, who noted the bullet hole and arrested Henci.

A jail spokeswoman said she didn't know if Henci had an attorney.
