Well, I'm prepared to call Lomon a goof with a gun forfiring his shotgun if he did so in the direction of other people.
Andsince he entered another man's property with ahandgun, then he definitely put himself at risk for either being a goof with a gun again or getting his azz shot.
One thing that I know. Whateverthe dispute/argument was about, guns made the whole thing worse. There is unlikely any real obstacle toresolving whatever thesegentlemen were arguing about. Take the the guns out of it and it's a minor deal. Take thegoof with a gun out of it and it probably doesn't evenhappen.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what goofy reasons were involved in this case thatneeded to get addressed with a firearms.

CAMERON, Okla. - The shooting death of a Cameron man Monday evening is being investigated as a possible act of self-defense, but homicide has not been ruled out.
Heath Lomon, 37, was killed on the property of a neighbor during a physical altercation with an unidentified man at the scene, according to Jessica Brown, public information officer for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, which is leading the investigation into the shooting death.
Authorities were dispatched to a rural residential area on Blaylock Lane, just south of Williams Road, in response to a report of a man shot. When deputies with the LeFlore County Sheriff's Office arrived, they found Lomon dead, the shooter and multiple witnesses.
"Lomon was shot and killed after he fired his shotgun in the direction of several people across the street from his property," Brown stated in a news release.
After firing the shotgun, Lomon walked over to the neighboring property and engaged in a physical altercation with one of the men at the scene, Brown said in an interview Tuesday.
Sometime during or soon after the altercation, the man Lomon was fighting with produced a handgun and shot Lomon once in the chest, according to Brown.
It is up to the LeFlore County prosecuting attorney to determine if the shooter was legitimately acting in self-defense when he shot Lomon or if he committed homicide, Brown said.
Brown said she does not know if Lomon was still carrying the shotgun he had fired when he entered the neighboring property, but said he was carrying at least a handgun.
Investigators have not officially determined what prompted Lomon to initially fire the shotgun.
