deputies showed up at his home.

The sheriff's office says the man shot at deputies clearing the

neighbor's house but then surrendered after they returned fire.

No one was injured.

In Dade City, the sheriff's office says deputies shot a man who

pointed a gun at city police officers late Sunday.

The sheriff's office says the man had barricaded himself inside

a home and had a history of threatening his family with guns. The

man's condition was not immediately clear.
