A Florida teen was shot dead early Saturday after police say he shot an armed security guard in the face with a BB gun.

Lakeland, Florida police say Shawn Plain, 19, was charging his cell phone in an apartment building laundry room when a male appeared at the door and allegedly shot at him.

Feeling stings in his face, authorities say Plain pursued the male and others and allegedly opened fire after believing he'd been shot.

Not a good joke.

He is old enough to know better, especially in Florida. From what I remember about Florida's stand your ground gun laws it is legal to shoot some one over verbal threats. They were warning visitors at the airport for a while after it passed.  BTW BB guns can be lethal as well. Not saying he deserved to die, but some one needs to win the darwin award.

Believe it or not more whites are shot by police than blacks in the US.

What has come to his mind to shoot a stranger in the face with an airsoft gun? I feel sorry for him.

How does a security guard confuse being shot with a BB versus a gun?

One goes plink, the other goes BANG!

Airsoft is plastic pellets. BB is METAL.

A .22 is not much louder than a BB gun.
