A Florida man and his 15-year-old son were arrested on attempted murder charges and accused of shooting at an innocent woman after they received a mixed-up package at their door and suspected a burglar was breaking in, officials said.

Gino Colonacosta, 73, and his son opened fire Saturday morning after they got a Ring doorbell notification about someone at the front door of their Winter Haven apartment around 7 a.m., Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.

That person was a neighbor who received a medicine delivery for the Coloncostas at his home, and being “a good Samaritan” he took the medicine and hung it on the Coloncostas’ front door, Judd said.

But after they got an alert from their Ring doorbell camera, the father and his son left their home armed with .45 caliber firearms searching for a person they suspected to be a burglar, the sheriff’s office said.

“You don’t shoot at people. You don’t leave the security of your home and go out and chase people down,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a harsh rebuke.

Gino Colonacosta and his 15-year-old son stalked and shot at a woman sitting in her car outside of her apartment. They thought she was the "burglar" who triggered their doorbell camera, but that was actually a different neighbor who was returning a mis delivered package.

I would dearly love to hear comments from the father and the son to see what the F were they thinking?
