Lehigh Acres scene

A man is in the hospital after he allegedly pointed a firearm at deputies upon their arrival at a Lehigh Acres home.

On Sunday, Dec. 24, a neighbor said she heard yelling from down their street – Euclid Avenue.

It prompted one neighbor to call 911, and nearly half a dozen units pulled into the neighborhood.

According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, deputies wounded 47-year-old Jeffrey Edward Lund, Sunday night, who remains in the hospital Tuesday morning.

Deputies responded to a home on the 1600 block of Euclid Avenue in Lehigh Acres due to a domestic disturbance call on Sunday night. According to the sheriff’s office, Lund pointed a firearm at deputies before they shot and wounded him.

Lund was transported to the hospital where he received medical attention. No deputies were injured during the incident.

Lund made his first appearance Tuesday where the judge set his bond at $35,000.

WINK News reached out to LCSO and the State Attorney’s Office for more information on the incident and whether the deputies involved in the shooting were on paid-administrative leave as part of protocol.

Neither have gotten back to WINK News with any updates. The investigation remains active.
