They indicated they may argue the death was self-defense.
Tracy Ruff, a neighbor, said she recognized the men but didn’t know them well. She said the death has shocked the neighborhood. “I just think the world's going crazy,” Ruff said. “Nowadays, it's just insane that people, you know, put things in place and don't know how to control their tempers or attitudes.”
