In an unrelated incident in Florida, a man is facing serious charges following an alleged violent confrontation. Authorities have charged him with attempted murder after he reportedly shot a woman in the neck and forcibly took her back into her residence.
The Wildwood Police Department responded to a distress call around 11:30 p.m. on a Saturday. Witnesses reported hearing an argument that escalated to gunfire, as detailed in an arrest report obtained by WKMG.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered a woman suffering from a gunshot wound to her neck, lying in a driveway. She was immediately airlifted to a hospital, where she is fighting for her life.
The suspect, identified as 40-year-old Robert Anthony Morgan, was apprehended by police. He faces several serious charges, including attempted felony murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Morgan is also charged with discharging a firearm in a public area or on residential property.
