dead in Oregon from the previous one) this may become a sudden (and bad)

APOPKA - Two men decided to settle a long-running feud in an Apopka 
Wal-Mart parking lot Saturday morning.

One was grazed with a bullet. One was sprayed with Mace. Both ended up 
in the Orange County Jail, police said.

"What they were thinking, I have no idea," said Apopka police Sgt. 
Jerome Miller. "It's just strange."

Frank J. Lukasik, 48, was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery 
after police said he shot Paul B. Goldman in the dispute. Goldman, 47, 
was arrested on a charge of battery causing bodily harm after 
authorities said he sprayed the chemical at Lukasik.

Both men told police they knew each other only from arguing for six 
years over the CB radio airwaves.

According to the police report, Lukasik announced on the radio early 
Saturday that he was going to the Wal-Mart on U.S. Highway 441 to buy a 
gift. Goldman replied he would be there "to settle their dispute and 
that he would have something for him [Lukasik]," the report said.

About 7:30 a.m., a witness reported seeing Lukasik walk to Goldman's 
truck with his hands in his pockets. Goldman got out of his vehicle, and 
the two men began arguing.

Lukasik told police he only pulled out the .380-caliber Colt and fired 
toward Goldman when the man sprayed him with Mace. The witness said 
Lukasik took out the gun first but only fired after Goldman pulled out 
the spray.

Apopka Fire took Goldman to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he 
was treated briefly for a head cut, from the bullet grazing his scalp.
