However, the officers’ version of events differs drastically from that given by Lopez’ wife and their neighbor.
According to Linares, Lopez’ spouse, there was no yelling, and her husband was not armed when he answered the door. All she heard was a series of gunshots shortly after her husband had gotten up, with no instructions being uttered. The couple’s neighbor stated something similar, denying that any yelling had occurred.
As bad as this already sounds, it gets worse: The officers who shot Lopez were at the wrong house. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
