A 29-year-old man was shot in self-defense and charged with aggravated assault Friday at a roofing company in Cape Coral, according to the police department.

Police said Kevin Bruzos is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. He threatened two people with a gun at Campbell Roofing located at 911 SE 15th Ave., police said.

One of the individuals Bruzos threatened was legally licensed to carry a concealed firearm and fired after Bruzos pointed his gun at the individual, who police did not identify or charge. Bruzos ignored orders from the individual to drop his gun, police said.

Police arrived around 3:45 p.m. before Bruzos was transported to a local hospital for his wounds.

According to court records, Bruzos was previously convicted of third-degree battery, drug possession and criminal mischief.
