A man who stopped taking his prescribed medications for mental illness began arguing with a group of people along the Arkansas River in Pine Bluff, Ark., and the incident quickly escalated. According to police, the man grabbed a gun from his car and fired it into the air as an apparent threat. He then headed toward James Woody, a fisherman who was unloading his boat. Woody reached into his truck for the pistol he keeps for protection. The disturbed man chased Woody around the truck, then threatened his life. Woody turned and shot his assailant, killing him.
