PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (AP) - A disagreement between two friends over the war in Iraq ended with the fatal shooting of one of the men.
Prosecutors and Kentucky State Police determined that Douglas Moore, 65, of Martin, acted in self-defense when he shot Harold W. Smith, 56, in the chest.
Both men had booths at a flea market when they began arguing over the war. "I think Doug was supporting it, and this other guy was against it," said Floyd County Coroner Roger Nelson.
Police said the argument escalated into a fight, and Smith drew a small pistol from his pocket, threatening to kill Moore.
Witnesses said Moore pulled a .38-caliber pistol from his pocket and shot Smith once in the chest.
Nelson said he found "a little derringer lying adjacent to Smith's hand where he fell."
Commonwealth's Attorney Brent Turner will decide whether to present the case to a grand jury after state police complete an investigation.
Moore was not arrested.

No just like England. Shoot first ask questions later.
Douglas must have thought his friend was a terrorist.
Absolute faith has been shown, consistently, to breed intolerance. And intolerance, history teaches us, again and again, begets violence.

Bush was right. The truth did come out and the facts are he misled Congress and the American people about the reasons we should go to war in Iraq.

He didn't have chance to detonate any bombs now did he logansdad?
Had he had any, but then running from the police wasn't to smart.
