Rio Claro residents welcome the stand-your-ground legislation as the area appears to have fallen victim to a string of violent attacks.

On November 25, two men armed with a cutlass and a gun, respectively, entered a San Pedro business place around 2.45 pm and tied the 62 and 50-year-old male proprietors.

The masked attackers beat their victims and ransacked their business and house before shooting the younger man in the leg and running off.
