Now, why is he in the sack at 8:30 PM?

WHY is that an ISSUE? I will say it again. *I* get up at 4:30- 5:00 AM, I go to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 PM.

Who CARES why he was "in bed"? Maybe he was watching TV before going to sleep?????????

It makes a difference when we start to contemplate the reasons why he might well have not heard the cops identify themselves. They say they did. Others say they didn't.

If they didn't identify themselves and he was normally in bed at that hour (because of work, health condition, etc.) he would truly have been surprised not knowing the caps were calling.

The question is whether or not the shooter is an innocent man who honestly believed he was defending himself.
