After the incident Meyers "is scared, but she's upset," Steiber said. She and her son then went out looking for the driver and they found the car she believed was involved in the earlier incident which police referred to as a "suspect vehicle" and followed it before heading for home."

It looks like the situation could have been avoided, and she would still be alive.

Her son brought a gun with him went they went looking for the guy who ended up killing her.
Sad. Not pouring salt on the wound, but if they had stayed home....

some how that makes me the bad guy?
(full disclosure: I don't own any guns and am 100% supportive of strict gun control measures, but this situation seems to contradict most "pro-gun" arguments).
