LAVEEN - Police are saying more about a shooting at a Taco Bell Tuesday night in which one man died.

They're also identifying the victim as 29-year-old Daniel Adkins.

About 7:30 p.m., a 22-year-old man and his girlfriend ordered food at the Taco Bell drive-thru and were told to pull up while their order was prepared.

At the same time, Adkins stepped around a corner into the path of the vehicle and angry words were exchanged between he and the driver.

They got into an altercation and Adkins was shot once by the driver. He died at the scene.

The driver, a 22-year-old black male, called police but has not been arrested.

The guy was shot down with his dog in the street. Where will Jessie and MSNBC’s token black be on this incident?

'The dog, Lady, stayed by Adkins' side until the Humane Society came. Adkins lived with his mom and dad. He's 29, but his family says he's mentally disabled and has the mental capacity of a 12-year-old. He didn't drive, and walked wherever he went.'

He's done for. He shot a mentally ill latino dog owner.

between he and the driver...

*Cringe*

Is it too much to ask for basic literacy in journalism?

Maybe the shooter was a white-black man like Obama.

Let’s see. Man in car—a weapon in and of itself—shoots a guy because he almost ran over the guy and that scared him. The victim, outside of the running car, waves his fists towards the annoyed driver. The driver pulls out his gun and shoots the victim. I am surprised he did not shoot the dog, too.

My heart goes out to these parents. This will be swept away and I bet MSM will never report.

“The driver, a 22-year-old black male, called police but has not been arrested.”

So, apparently there is some question as to whether this was justified as self-defense. This is something beyond irony.

The guy has no cop training, I'd guess.

Maybe the dog gave him the evil eye.

>> This is something beyond irony.

I’m open-minded. Let’s wait for the facts. Guessing it’s a case of poor judgement.

I don’t feel compelled to issue a bounty, nor describe the victim as having a likeness to my kin, nor parading around like a race-baiting asshole... Maybe the driver felt threatened, who knows?
