Ronald Westbrook had apparently been wandering for up to four hours with his dog, wearing only a light jacket and straw hat in freezing temperatures. His family only noticed that he was missing at about the time that he was being shot in the chest by 34-year-old Joe Hendrix who went outside with a .40 caliber handgun while his fiancée called 911 to report a possible prowler.

Westbrook had at one time lived nearby and apparently became confused and wandered back to the old neighborhood from his home 3 miles away. He had been approached at about 2:30 a.m. by a sheriff’s deputy at a nearby mailbox when he told the deputy that he lived there and was just checking his mail the deputy left him. An hour-and-a-half later he rang the bell and jiggled the doorknob at the home where Hendrix and his fiancée lived, the only home on the street with an outside light on.

Hendrix said that he gave him several verbal commands to stand still but that he began to walk toward him anyway at which time he fired four shots at him hitting him once in the chest. He was still holding the mail he had collected from the mailbox when he spoke to the deputy earlier.

2. just another law abiding gun owner protecting his property...

...from the awful scary "home invader." This is exactly what most people own guns for-- to "protect" themselves from imagined fears.

everything looks like a nail.

Rip Mr. Westbrook.

4. Another gun nut

protecting his castle from imagined dragons. Although the NRA and a few Gungeoneers would call this a "justified shooting," most responsible Americans and American gun owners would condemn this idiot for being so anxious to pull the trigger. This is exactly the kind of gun nut who should never be allowed to own a gun.

It's not surprising that this happened in Georgia, as it's number 10 on the list of the states with the most gun violence in the USA.

5. gun nuts are scared of teenaged girls and elderly alzheimers patients
