"There are witnesses and we have interviewed them," she added. "We're talking about neighbors and people who heard things earlier in the evening and when the shooting took place."



Beukes is the police spokeswoman.

 

The only way it could be a reasonable reaction is if she was planning a scary Valentines' surprise by cutting through the front door with a chainsaw while wearing a Scream mask.

Not with this bunch.

 

Self-defender?
