It's so sad how an argument
It's so sad how an argument between two friends that deployed together could come to such a tragic end.
They were playing a game
They were playing a game called "TRUST". It's like russian roulette, only some else's finger is on the trigger.
There were multiple people
There were multiple people in hunts home at the time of the shooting and it is unclear if hunt was the shooter or not although it was his gun. Lets remember that according to the US judicial system all suspects are innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.
