Police: Fla. man facing eviction sets home on fire

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – Police say a Florida man facing eviction set fire to his condo and was shot after he got into a fight with officers.

Police are not saying who shot the resident. The man was taken to a nearby hospital, but police aren't revealing his condition. He has not been identified.
