MIAMI (CBS4) ― A Miami catering company turned into a crime scene Monday morning after police and paramedics rushed to help a man who had been shot.

The man was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, according to Miami Fire Spokesman Ignatius Carroll.

The shooting occurred sometime after 9 a.m. inside Yolene Catering on the 5900 block of Northwest Second Avenue. Yolene Francois, the owner, told CBS4's Tiffani Helberg that her husband shot a man in self defense. She said the man had worked for them briefly. He allegedly came in demanding money and picked up a chair as if to strike him. That's when the owner allegedly shot the man, Francois said.

Miami-Dade police say the owner who shot the former employee won't face charges because he shot in self defense. The former employee who allegedly assaulted the husband may face charges.

From Chopper 4, a man was seen in handcuffs. Other officers had their cruisers parked outside the business."
