Sorry maybe its just me but this story sounds really f-ed up.
There’s a man lying dead on his own property. And this is very bothersome.
The shooter could have left when he went to retrieve his shotgun.
From a friend of the family of Harry Lee “Chuck” Derryberry :
None of you knew him, Chuck was a decent guy in his own right, his family are good people, but he did have his violent streak.. this was not uncommon throughout most of his life.
He was murdered on Monday, by his cousin, Brian. The family was having a dispute, and Chuck was never one to know when it was time to stop being violent or be quiet. Brian is a good guy takes care of his family and yes he’ll have to live with what he did for the rest of his life, its very sad. Lookout Mountain however isn’t a strange place. I live here just a few houses down from the family, a few houses down from Chucks house and Brians.
In response to Burnitup : Chuck could be a very violent man when he was drinking, drunk or on drugs, I can’t verify which he was on at the time, but I’m fairly sure he was at least intoxicated. Brian was not trying to just protect himself. Chucks mother, his aunt, & his female cousin, as well as his male cousin (The shooter). Were all in a skuffle with Chuck, and he was beating the tar outta the females mentioned above... Brian felt he needed to protect them, not just himself, before Brian went to get the gun, Chuck had broken at least 3 of his 62 yr old mothers bones. That is why he didn’t just walk away.
