PALM COAST, Fla. >> Authorities say a Florida man fired shots at two late-night “Pokemon Go” players in a car outside his house but no one was injured.

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office spokesman James Troiano says in a news release that the homeowner awoke to a noise outside about 1:30 a.m. Saturday and saw a car sitting in the road in front of his house. He told authorities he got a handgun and approached the vehicle.

Troiano says the two teens in the car sped away and the man fired several shots at them.

Later that morning, he says, the mother of one of the teens called the sheriff’s office when they realized the car had a flat tire and several bullet holes in it. She told officials the two had been playing the smartphone app.

The release says the investigation is ongoing.

I'm sure there's a lot more to this story.

You mean something like blaming an App (inanimate object) instead of the person for being stupid (illegal activity)?  That would jut be idiotic.  No sane peson above the age of two would do that...

More info from both sides.  This one seems more plausible.  Jumping in front of a car on a public street brandishing a handgun with no justification.  Shooting at them while they're fleeing.  Not going to end well and he'll be in jail for a while.  Makes a good example of what not to do for a NRA pistol class.

The homeowner who shot at the teens has a different account of what happened early Saturday. When interviewed by deputies, the homeowner said he was woken up by a loud noise outside of his home and spotted a white car with its brake lights on in the street outside his house. That's when he grabbed his handgun and went outside. He recalled hearing someone say something to the effect of "did you get anything?" Then he said he stepped in front of the car and said not to move.

The car, he said, accelerated toward him. He fled from the street and shot at the car several times as it sped off.
