Body lies in driveway during 16-hour police standoff

In Auburn, Maine there was a total of 16 hour stand off between the police and a man who killed his mother in the driveway of their house. The man called James “mike” peters, age 42, is believed that he was shot and killed by one of the police in the tactical squad that stormed into the house. A police said that the 70 year old mother shot by his own son was lying in the driveway during the stand off and also said it was too dangerous to move the body during the stand off.The police repeatedly requested a talk with the man but he refused so the 10 tactical squad members were brought into help solve the problem. One got injured by the flying glass when the man shot through the window.

In my opinion, shooting injuries have happen TOO frequently these days. First, the most significant, the Korean who killed students in the University. And now, shooting his own mother. I don't get when people can kill someone. Won't they feel bad most of the time? Also, it is the responsibilty for the United States. Is it really that important for the citizens to have a gun for the purpose of self defence? The purpose of having a gun is for self defence, right? However, compare the rate of gun injuries of the U.S. with other countries that does not allow to have a gun. I am pretty sure the U.S. has a higher rate. As a result, I think the U.S. should really think about it. Unless they want this kind of news happen more in the future.
