OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Kenny Carr was a marine veteran who had been out with his friends drinking. He arrived at home and according to his wife, he had been drinking and was noisy. He was in a good mood but according to her, she could not get him to lower his voice as it was late at night. At some point, an argument began. According to Carr’s wife, a shot suddenly ripped through the house and her husband dropped, shot in the head by someone outside who had fired into the home. Police had gotten a 911 call from an unknown party about a domestic disturbance. Police further allege that they saw Carr holding a gun and felt forced to shoot. Carr’s widow stated that she was advised by her attorney not to discuss the gun and domestic disturbance events in more detail than is stated but that her concern is that her husband was killed in her home in front of her by an unknown assailant who had been outside of the house unbeknownst to them. Carr had a history of PTSD from military involvement, was known in recent months to consume alcohol and cope in a noisy manner according to his wife who disputes any need to shoot him, particularly in the manner as it happened.
