This is 33 year-old Karl Polek, a pool cleaner from Dunedin, Florida. Polek showed up at a client's home to clean their pool around 9:00PM (security cameras show 8:00PM, reports differ) without knocking on the door, calling or texting to alert them of his late arrival. As he was outside cleaning the pool, a shocking series of events started to unfold indoors that would nearly lead to his death.

Inside the home, Bradley and Jana Hocevar were watching a movie. Jana went to the kitchen and noticed that someone seemed to be outside despite the late hour. She freaked out and locked the sliding glass doors, pulling back the curtains on one side. Jana then screamed for Bradley telling the retired Lt. Colonel that someone was out back by the pool. Bradley grabbed his Colt M4 carbine rifle and the two hid behind the couch.

At that point, Bradley Hocevar yelled something toward the person outside. His wife was on the phone with 9-1-1 when he started firing, with two rounds shattering the sliding glass doors. Polek, startled by the shots, understandibly hauled ass escaping around the side of the house. Then, despite the fact that the 9-1-1 operator and his wife were screaming at him to stop firing the weapon, Hocevar emptied the 30-round magazine indescriminately into the backyard.

Watch in the video above as the homeowner unknowingly goes to war with a man armed with a pool net.

Polek was hit in the back with glass from the shattering sliding glass windows and other shrapnel. However, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said there would be no charges against the homeowner. Gualtieri said the incident was 'lawful but awful.'

This whole ordeal leaves me wondering, shouldn't Bradley Hocevar face some sort of punishment? He opened fire on a pool man during a problem that could have been solved by flipping on the lights instead of popping off 30 shots at a shadow in the dark. This guy is living in a thriller movie with the anticipation that some dangerous nightfighter is going to pounce on his family. What else could explain such an over the top and sloppy reaction to the sound of a human in your backyard at night?

The pool guy, for his part, seems to be in the wrong as well. What in the hell are you doing showing up in the middle of the night unannounced to clean your client's pool in the dark? This seems, at best, absolutely unprofessional. At worst, he was putting himself at risk of this situation playing out exactly as it did. And, my god, it's going to be awkward if he has to keep cleaning the Hocevar's pool.

Do you think there should have been charges filed against Bradley Hocevar?
