From WPLG 10:
Broward Sheriff?s Office homicide detectives are investigating the slaying of a 50-year-old man gunned down outside his Pompano Beach home Wednesday evening.
BSO deputies responded to reports of a shooting in the 700 block of Northwest 19th Avenue shortly after 6:30 p.m. and found Randolph Canion shot to death in front of his house.
Investigators said Canion's eldest son was involved in a shouting match with two other men. When the argument escalated, investigators said Canion came outside with a gun and opened fire but missed.
That's when the two men fired back, fatally wounding Canion, investigators believe.
"He always had his hand out giving, you know what I mean?" nephew Aaron Canion said. "My uncle was in the church. He changed his life over a long time ago, but other people didn't believe that. So they had to do it this way, because they didn't believe."
Investigators are unsure what the dispute was about.
The two men -- 24 and 28 years old -- are being questioned about the shooting, but no charges have been filed. Investigators said both had permits to carry a concealed weapon.
--------------------------------------
Sounds like a good shoot to me. The guy came out and shot at people who were just arguing with his son, they, both licensed to carry, defended themselves successfully.
And I just love how the nephew used "he was in church" as an excuse for why the guy came out and used deadly force unprovoked. Because those who commit crimes ALWAYS seem to be either "good boys" or "giving people", right?
Oh, yeah, and I also love the reporter's choice of the world SLAYING to describe a seemingly justified defensive use of legally carried firearms.
