Fatal Walk in the neighborhood

35-year-old Nathan Morris and his family were enjoying a casual morning walk around the neighborhood when the incident broke out.

The neighbor reportedly brought out a gun and started threatening Morris and his family. Following this alarming incident, Morris sent his family home, staying back to resolve the tension.
