A 10-year-old Miami boy was shot after his father took him on a faux drive-by shooting with a paintball gun — and a frightened homeowner returned fire with real bullets, according to authorities.
Michael Williams, 26, allegedly gave in to his son’s pleas late Sunday to take him on a paintball "drive-by shooting," where police said the boy fired off the unlethal rounds into a crowd gathered in the front yard of an Opa-locka home, the Miami Herald reported.
But the homeowner, identified as Gregory Barns, thought the gunfire was real and that "he and his family were under attack" — leading him to return fire with a real round, striking the boy, police said.
The first thing you may notice is that Florida Man was 16 when his son was born. But wait! There's more!
The youngster, who was not publicly identified, was then run over by his father’s van after being shot and losing his balance, police said.
I'm trying not to laugh at that because it's a child. Oh, and:
Neighbors, meanwhile, told WSVN that they saw the duo driving around with ski masks on.
"The guy riding around with kids in the car with their ski masks and hoodies on, and they were apparently shooting at people," resident Maurice Adams said.

Isn't it sweet when fathers train their kids to take over the family business.
