By Michael Braithwaite
One person was shot dead and the shooter, his neighbor, was hospitalized after a Greeley home break in overnight Tuesday.Officials first responded to a residence in the 4200 block of Grand Teton Road just before 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to a post from the Weld County Sheriff’s Office on social media.
Upon arrival, deputies found the reporting party, the victim of the break in, who said he had been in “a long-standing feud” with his neighbor, according to the post. During the incident, the man told police, the neighbor had kicked his door in and come into the home with an object in his hand.
A struggle broke out between the two before the victim shot the neighbor, according to the post. The man was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead; the victim was also taken to the hospital and remains in critical condition.

Long standing feud.

Some folks just refuse to be good neighbors.
Must not have had a good fence between ’em.

Next will come the survivors taking action. No doubt a wrongful death claim and suit to follow.
The “survivors” should’a wrangled in ol’ g’pa before he got so argumentative that he got hisself kilt.
