When Matthew Sepi returned from Iraq a few months ago, he spoke to his family reluctantly of gunbattles and the "weird noises" children make when they die. He never told relatives whether he killed anyone during combat but said he recently had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and had been placed on a waiting list for treatment.

Based on Sepi's version of events, a 1 a.m. walk to a 7-Eleven proved nearly as dangerous as his tour of duty in Iraq.

According to an arrest report filed in Clark County District Court, Sepi told investigators he dressed in a black coat, tucked an assault rifle under his arm and left his apartment for a beer run.

And if you read the rest of the story.. this might be a self defense issue, the person that assaulted him first and fired first

Sepi, an American Indian who hails from Winslow, Ariz., was arrested and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on suspicion of one count of murder and attempted murder.

Some evidence might lend credence to Sepi's self-defense story.

"We do know the victim's boyfriend (Ratcliff) got off a few rounds as well," police Lt. Tom Monahan said.

Police said they recovered a 9 mm pistol and three spent 9 mm casings at the crime scene.

Police are investigating Sepi's story that someone had pulled a knife on him, while he was unarmed, the day before the shooting.

you seem to want to report the half truth. Do you work for CBS?? it is a shame you are a DM fan as well.

I try not too use too much copyrighted material. That is why I leave the link. People are more than welcome at reading the whole article.

BTW, the ...according to an arrest report filed in Clark County District Court, Sepi told investigators he dressed in a black coat, tucked an assault rifle under his arm and left his apartment for a beer run... part must have slipped by you.

Also what is he doing with an assualt rifle. No one is saying the make or model of what he carried under his coat in the month of August in the Las Vegas area. If he brought back a souvenir from Iraq it would be interesting to find out how he left the sand with it.

No one should resort to vigilantism. People pay taxes to have a police force. He took it upon himself to be his own police force and concocted a "someone pulled a knife on me" story AFTER THE FACT.

If there is a police report on his prior incident then that would support his story to SOME EXTENT. But since so far it looks as if there is none, it is up to a jury to decide his fate.

the "weird noises" children make when they die

Just where in the world would he even begin to know what those noises where? Did he somehow become involved in the death of children?
