A man was killed by a Volusia County Sheriff's Office sniper after deputies say he fired about 200 rounds at neighboring units and law enforcement in an Ormond-by-the-Sea condominium on Thanksgiving morning.
VSO reported that deputies responded to the Kingston Shores Condominiums at 5500 Ocean Shore Blvd. the morning of Thursday, Nov. 28, after receiving a call about a man shooting multiple rounds outside his condo and at his neighbor's residences. The man, identified as Joseph DiFusco, also fired at a VSO vehicle from inside his condo.
The incident took place over several hours, according to a VSO Facebook post. The agency reported at 1:30 p.m. that DiFusco had been shot and killed. There were no other injuries and neighbors had been evacuated that morning.
"On behalf of Sheriff Chitwood, we would like to thank everyone for their cooperation, patience, and prayers during this potentially dangerous incident," VSO wrote on its Facebook post.
