GIFFORD, Fla. — An Indian River County man is behind bars Wednesday after authorities said he was run over by a car then fired at least a dozen shots at the vehicle as it sped away.

The Indian River County Sheriff's Office said Kejuan Wynn, 26, armed with a rifle, went up to a man in a white sedan and started arguing with him, yelling and shouting.

Seconds later, Wynn walked away and the driver of the sedan suddenly went into reverse and plowed over Wynn, tossing his body into the air.

Despite the violent impact, Wynn immediately got up and fired at least a dozen shots at the car as it slammed into a neighboring home, then sped out of the parking lot and down the street.

Wynn then hopped into a white SUV and drove away in the opposite direction.

According to law enforcement records, Wynn was arrested in Brevard County on charges of attempted second-degree murder, shooting or throwing a deadly missile, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
