Edwards said the bullet could have been fired from as far as two miles away – likely from a rifle.

Friendly politeness.

“They’re all friends and like family to the people at that house, so (Plain) knew (Williams) but it appears he was just so startled by him walking into the house that he lifted up the gun a little and pulled the trigger,” Webber said. “Right now, it appears to be an accident because we don’t believe (Plain) had any intention of shooting (Williams). “According to witnesses in the house, there wasn’t an argument going on (and) the two didn’t have trouble with the other — it was just an accident.”

The bullet hit Williams in the chest and exited through his lower back. Williams was later pronounced dead on the scene, Webber said.

A double dose of politeness today: Politeness is a family affair.
