THAT caught my eye. If I read between the lines of the rest of the article, the police responded and surrounded the place at some distance, but never approached during a 6.5 hour period. At one point Peterson went the sleep for 45 minutes, and the people left in the house called the police and told them, but no one approached, and Peterson only woke up when the district attorney decided to call him.Kegley owns a construction and roofing company housed on his property. Three of his workers were at the house, and as Peterson [the deputy/shooter] lingered, they called 911 "as many as 20 times," Kegley said.
Sometime around 10:30 a.m. when there was still no apparent sign of police, Mike Kegley left the house to "find out where the hell they were," he said.
Luckily, in the end, Peterson decided to let Kegley's family and workers live (unlike his girlfriend and her friends).
Excellent case study for why you should have your own guns AND be WILLING to make your own tough decisions as to your welfare and survival. In the end, you are the only one responsible for your safety.
