Miami man shot by police after firing gun 48 times in air to celebrate Florida's new gun law
This happened in July. I don't know why the TV station is treating it as if it's something new.
MIAMI-DADE
Miami man shot by police after firing gun 48 times in air to celebrate Florida's new gun law
Because Labaut refused to obey commands, police shot him multiple times.

On Monday, a man appeared before a judge for the first time since he was severely injured after police shot him in July.
Police rushed to the scene at 7851 NE 10th Ave on emergency mode for reports of a man shooting multiple rounds in the air near an apartment building.
Witnesses tell police the defendant, Christian Labaut, said he was “celebrating the governor's new constitutional carry law.”
Labaut has been in the hospital since the incident because police say they were forced to shoot him after he refused to listen.
