Cops collared six members of the Buckland family Dec. 19 after the bloody, broad-daylight beatdown on guys from rival EH Paving at a Monroe County job site, according to WMAZ.

“Like something out of ‘The Sopranos,’” Monroe County Sheriff Brad Freeman told the outlet.

That’s when family patriarch Mark Buckland Sr., 77, pulled a “long cowboy-style gun” and fired two rounds into the woods to intimidate the other pavers, the outlet said.

His 58-year-old son, Mark Buckland Jr., allegedly sparked a full-on brawl moments later that left the EH Paving workers bruised and banged-up.
