Two men won't face charges in Wal-Mart shooting spree
Joseph G. Williams has been charged with three counts of attempted murder.
Two men who returned fire in a Wal-Mart parking lot gun battle last week won't face any charges, according to St. Petersburg police.
The men were shot at in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart at at 3501 34th St. S. in St. Petersburg by Joseph G. Williams, according to police.
Williams, 21, who received a gunshot wound to his foot during the incident, has been charged with three counts of attempted murder, violation of a domestic violence injunction and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Williams was scheduled to have surgery Friday for his foot wound.
Even though the other two men involved in the incident do not have permits to carry weapons, they will not face charges because they acted in self defense. Police said the men are cooperating with the investigation.
Police said the shooting was the result of a long standing feud between the men, and not a gang dispute.
