Home Invader Shot By Florida Resident


PALM BAY, FL ~ Police have identified a second home invasion suspect, just hours after arresting a 19-year-old man shot in the buttocks by a resident defending the property, officials said.
The first suspect, Anthony Giuffrie of Sebastian, was charged with home invasion, impersonating a police officer and aggravated battery after officers were called out to the 3000 block of Edgewood Drive to investigate reports of a robbery today.
Giuffrie (pictured above) was found at the home, suffering from wounds to his leg and butt from a 9mm handgun, police said. He was turned over to the Brevard County Jail Complex and booked about 8 a.m., records show.
Palm Bay police are also continuing to search for 19-year-old Port St. Lucie resident William Louis Pelletier Jr., said Yvonne Martinez, spokeswoman for the Palm Bay Police Department. He is wanted for questioning in the home invasion. Adam Suarez, the resident who shot Giuffrie, will not be charged because he was acting in self-defense, Martinez said, adding police were still sorting out a motive for the incident.
