Would like to know the whole story. Kinda sounds like the victim confronted the shooter as shooter was in his car. If some angry mofo came to my door threatening me and claiming to have a gun, and then reached behind his back, he might get shot. LEOs shoot unarmed people who they "think" may have a gun quite often. Every secnario is different.

The shooter was the one who had his door dinged and the guy who got shot was in his car, hence the head/face shots. I could be wrong.
Smith and the suspect were discussing what police called a “door ding” to the suspect’s car, reportedly made by Smith, when the conversation deteriorated, police said in a news release.
Each told the other they had guns, and while the suspect was in his vehicle, Smith reportedly made a threatening move and reached behind his back. The suspect, who has a handgun license, told police he thought Smith was reaching for a gun when he shot him, the news release said.
Suspect is the guy who ended the argument.... Smith is the guy who was shot...
Suspect (shooter) was in his car... the one that got dinged...
Smith was up against the car and reached as if to draw a weapon...
(my personal opinion here... not a good idea after stating "I got a gun")
Smith’s wife, Alishia Smith, said he was shot five to six times from less than 5 feet away, with several shots hitting his face and chest.

Aha I see. Wonder why the guy with the door ding was in his car though, retrieving a weapon possibly? Nobody is ever going to know the real full story.Last edited by justletmein; 01-18-2017, 08:36 PM.

I experienced a family shooting situation many years ago with my own family over something stupid like this.... a spilt bag of sugar on the counter, escalated to the point where my cousin shot my uncle in the chest with a 44 mag....
It simply rips the family to pieces and all over something so simple and meaningless... my uncle failed to control his anger and it cost him his life... he was a former Baptist preacher/ Rancher.

Either way there is no good outcome.

Huh? Unless you've been actually in a firefight, and know a little more about what's all involved.
I say to all who have made comments, the entire story is probably not known to the public. Just because arrested and charged, still a long process to go. Could be BS deal but the PD decided they want to let a grand jury to look at it and decide. Personally, probably should have just referred it to GJ without arrest, but knowing what I know about the PD (worked their for 25-years) somebody probably thought it would be better on them to make the arrest.
