And here I always heard good fences make good neighbors. Damn!
SKIATOOK, Okla. -- Howard Hawthorne appeared calm when he complained to sheriff's deputies that his neighbors were damaging his fence. The deputies told him to take the matter to civil court and left. An hour later, officers got a report from the property north of Tulsa of shots fired. As they rolled up, they saw Hawthorne kill himself and found the bodies of neighbor Anthony Graham, Graham's 24-year-old son and a friend nearby, said Tulsa County Undersheriff Brian Edwards.
Graham, 44, was on a tractor and using it to pull up the fence posts when he was shot, Edwards said.
A well regulated Militia,
being necessary to the security of a fence,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed
