WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Police in West Palm Beach say a naked man was fatally shot after lunging at a resident trying to stop him from attacking a woman and her children.
According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Jonas Morisma may have been under the influence of drugs when he ended up the apartment complex early yesterday. Police say Morisma first attacked a tow truck, banging on the driver's windows and tearing off its lights. He then reportedly began banging on apartment doors and punching through windows.
Police say Morisma was disrobing while doing all this. A resident came out of his apartment with a gun and told Morisma to leave as the woman and her children sought cover nearby.
According to authorities, that's when Morisma lunged at the resident, who fired one shot. Police won't release the resident's identity, saying they want to protect him from retaliation.
