BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA (WFTV) – Closing arguments were made Tuesday afternoon in the trial of a 49-year-old Titusville man accused of killing two of his neighbors and severely injuring a third in a Labor Day shooting.

William Woodward said he was defending his family following weeks of threats when he shot his Smith Drive neighbors on Sept. 3, 2012.

But prosecutors said the victims were drunk and unarmed, and that Woodward had alternatives to deadly force.

Jurors must decide whether Woodward is a vigilante or a victim.

He’s charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of Gary Lee Hembree and Roger Picior, and attempted murder in the shooting of Bruce “Timothy” Blake.
