ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A man who mistakenly walked into the wrong house during a power outage at his duplex was shot and critically injured by his neighbor.Orange County sheriff's deputies said Jeff Conway, 24, mistakenly walked into the home of Berky Deguzman, 62, near Huntsman and Gray Fox lanes near the University of Central Florida campus late Wednesday.Deguzman apparently thought Conway was a burglar and opened fire, officers said."(Deguzman) said he was in his house and somebody started banging and the next thing he knows, the guy is standing in his house and he got his gun," an officer said.Deguzman called 911 after shooting Conway twice.Deputies said Deguzman will not be charged because he was in his legal right to shoot Conway."You have a right to protect your property," an officer on the scene said. "Florida passed that law so basically he is protecting his domain."Local 6 reported that many of the duplexes where the shooting happened look similar.Conway remains at Orlando Regional Medical Center in critical condition.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
