This is why there are laws about keeping your firearms locked up and secured. The trigger happy SOB should get life in prison and the dead guy's probably been punished enough by now. The jail time won't bring the dead guy back, but maybe he shouldn't have been antagonizing his gun wielding neighbor... Just my $.02
There's nothing more to it. Interesting fact is that it was the gunmans own cam system which recorded the shooting. He installed it to prove that his neighbour was tresspassing his property. Sure tresspassing is a transgression, but certainly not such a felony to kill him? Why not use a dog to keep intruders away?
