Surveillance video showed Saylor going to his pickup truck and firing at the building, authorities said. Video showed Merrill walking outside in the direction of Saylor's truck and then falling to the ground, they said.

(66,294 posts)Unfortunately, you've earned yourself probably several dozen indignant replies from self-described "responsible gun-owners" who will insist you don't know anything about gun culture, and deserve to have your house broken into because you oppose 'sensible home and personal protection measures'.
But don't worry; most of them will be trolls...
Fasten your seltbelt.
