A dark story that we’ve seen time and time is being repeated this past week in Broward County.

According to a published report in the Florida Bulldog detailing an incident from 27 years ago, as a 14-year old boy growing up in a dangerous neighborhood in Philadelphia, Gregory Tony defended himself and his brother from an armed man, shooting his would-be assailant in self-defense.
