AVON PARK, Fla. -- A 91-year-old central Florida man shot at landscapers for getting grass clippings on his vehicle, reports CBS affiliate WTSP.

According to the station, just before noon on Thursday, Sept. 17, landscaper Robert Hendrix was working at a home in Avon Park, about 70 miles south of Orlando, when he accidentally got grass clippings on Max Horton's vehicle. Horton started arguing with Hendrix, and reportedly pulled out a gun and ordered Hendrix to get on his knees, and told Hendrix he was going to kill him.

At the same time, fellow landscaper Johnny Barnes made a move towards Horton and Horton fired off a round from the handgun at Hendrix and then aimed at Barnes, reports the station. Hendrix was able to get up and disarm Horton, says the station, and Hendrix and Barns tackled Horton and held him until deputies arrived.

According to the station, Horton received minor injuries when tackled and was transported by EMS to Highlands Regional Medical Center's Emergency Room for treatment. Hendrix could reportedly not be taken to Florida Hospital because he had previously made verbal threats to staff members in September 2013, telling them he had a gun in his vehicle and they would be sorry if he went to get it.

Once released from the medical center, the station reports that Horton was booked into the Highlands County Jail for attempted first degree murder.
