I got home yesterday from working in Puerto Rico last week and was greeted by this news.
Very little official information has been released but it's a pretty small town so word (accurate or not) travels fast. According to all the chatter my daughter picked up at work, this was less "argument" than it was armed home invasion. Perps shot homeowner, homeowner's daughter shot perp. Both perps arrested. All unsubstantiated at this point. My gut tells me it was more targetted than random. The house is a couple miles down the road from us.
My wife has previously had no interest in guns and I know her well enough to not push the issue. Over the last few years she's had enough exposure through myself and my daughter (who is probably a better shot than me with a pistol) that she's perfectly comfortable having them around though. Last night she told me about the shooting down the road and said, "You need to teach me to shoot."
I plan to find a secluded spot for the 3 of us to go out with no distractions. If all goes well I'll probably be looking for a women's class to send them both through. Ideally I'd hoped she learn to shoot because she wanted to, like my daughter did, but I'll take whatever motivator comes along.
One dead, one injured during an overnight shooting near Marsing
The Owyhee County Sheriff's Office says two men are in custody.
