Sounded as though there was a bit of a squabble. Squabble? They're all dead! Oh! Must have been more of a tiff then.

The U.S. Coast Guard reported it fired three times at a vessel in Tampa Bay that had been ordered to stop because it had no navigation lights. When the boat fled, three "self-defense shots" were fired into its engine compartment. The boat was stopped 300 yards from the Davis Islands bridge, a spokeswoman said.
Unfortunately, The whole story has not been told here. The boater for an unknown reason attempted to ram a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Dept. patrol boat and then rammed the Coast Guard boat two times . Both HCSO and the Coast Guard fired shots at the boats engine compartment which is standard procedure to stop a boat which refuses to stop. It's operator was arrested on numerous felonies including aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. One of the local radio DJ's here in Tampa knows this guy, and this morning said he was WAAAAAAAY drunk long before the sun went down...
