A former Broward Sheriff's Office deputy, who survived after he was shot in the head while he was on duty, shot a homeless man who was harassing him and his family on Saturday, said police.

Miami-Dade police said the incident happened outside the Haagen-Dazs store in the Windmill Gates Shopping Center on Northwest 67th Avenue about 1:30 p.m.

Maury Hernandez was with his fiancé, their infant child and two children from his fiancé's previous marriage when a homeless man approached them and was acting violent, said police.

Police said it began as an argument before the man swung at Hernandez.

"He then turned his aggression toward the children, the small children that were there with the victim and when the victim saw that he was being aggressive toward his kids, when it became a physical confrontation, shots were fired," said Miami-Dade Det. Alvaro Zabaleta.

The 33-year-old man was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital by air rescue. He was listed in stable condition.

His name has not been released.

Miami-Dade police is investigating.

Miami-Dade police said it does not appear the man was armed but they said it does appear the shooting was justified.

"If you do carry a firearm and you are permitted to, you are allowed to use it if you feel your life is in danger or the life of somebody else," said Zabaleta.

Good shoot!

good shoot

Don't stand between a man and Haagen-Dazs.

Ice cream for the win, Lt. Dan.

There, there, there's the solution.

He did it wrong, the turd is in stable condition. Eventually he'll sue for getting shot.
