Kentucky.com reports on the arrest of Matthew Denholm, pictured to the left.
Flower and Price (the two dead guys) intervened Sunday night to help an unidentified man with whom Denholm was fighting. Denholm lost the fight but vowed to return. When he did so, he fired a shotgun through the apartment door before kicking the door open, entering the apartment and shooting Flower and Price.
A couple days later, big brother Ryan was arrested for complicity to murder and complicity to attempted murder for his role in the attack.
Because the gun laws are the way they are in Kentucky, these two unstable and dangerous young men had no trouble acquiring them, if not legally, then illegally. Gun availability is a god-given, fundamental-human, Constitutionally-protected right, after all. Who could argue with that?

If someone vows to return with the purpose of causing mayhem, I'm calling the police and not exposing myself until they arrive--with my own shotgun and sidearm at hand, naturally. This is what Jeff Cooper meant by the need for an observation port somewhere a bit from the door.
