  1. Same story. Arguement results in a murder. What ever happened to a good old fist fight. These knuckleheads need to learn to control their temper. Enjoy you time in prison.

  2. This is in the Burnt Oaks town house community off 8th and Fredrick ave.
    They couldn’t just walk away. Now many families will be affected forever .
    Another didn’t think before anger took over , that they will go to Hell forever once that trigger was pulled ..

      1. Fool .. Google Earth it ..there are two brick walls and a sign ” Burnt Oaks ”
        I believe in clowns , and fools you !

  3. I wonder if the failure to mention that the “victim” had the firearm wrestled away from him before being done in with his own weapon is intentional.
