Homeowner Reportedly Opens Fire On Known Attackers In Bratt Assault

November 16, 2024

An investigation is continuing after shots were fired during a reported disturbance in Bratt.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s responded to a reported assault the 3400 block of West Highway near C.W. Caraway Road Thursday night where the homeowner told deputies that he had been attacked and severely beaten in his home by two individuals that he has personally known for many years.

“The victim stated that he defended himself by shooting his firearm at the men and that he may have struck one of the suspects with one of the rounds he fired in self-defense,” ECSO Sgt. Melony Peterson said.

She said deputies located several spent shell casings and a firearm but were unable to locate the suspects. Area hospitals were contacted, but none had treated a gunshot victim.

    And who are these two “known” suspects, and why haven’t they been identified and arrested yet? But then again, we know that nobody lies to the police about what really transpired, right?

    I live on w hwy 4, just a few houses down from where this all happened. We were wondering what was going on because we’ve lived here our whole lives and only a handful of times seen the police out there to an actual call (non-medical). Praying the family’s okay, hopefully they’ll turn in the suspects names since they know who done it.
