A Miami catering company turned into a crime scene Monday morning after police and paramedics rushed to help a man who had been shot.

The man was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, according to Miami Fire Spokesman Ignatius Carroll.

The shooting occurred sometime after 9 a.m. inside Yolene Catering on the 5900 block of Northwest Second Avenue. Yolene Francois, the owner, told CBS4's Tiffani Helberg that her husband shot a man in self defense. She said the man had worked for them briefly. He allegedly came in demanding money and picked up a chair as if to strike him. That's when the owner allegedly shot the man, Francois said.

Miami-Dade police say the owner who shot the former employee won't face charges because he shot in self defense. The former employee who allegedly assaulted the husband may face charges.

That's a new one - taking a chair to a gunfight.

2. Good Job

Maybe if more people responded with this sort of action, there's be fewer people breaking in and threatening people with chairs.

3. Have to remember this

I used to just run when some chairslinger got the drop on me. Wonder if it was a recliner? They should be kept off the streets.

4. You mean the one with "the foot thing that goes up?"

The darned things recline every time you pull the lever. People should stick to old fashioned wooden rockers.

5. Now you've done it

There's a riot brewing at every Cracker Barrel in the country.
