A friend of mine was very good friends with Brandon and gave a little more detail then the media did. The media portrayed this as a bar fight more or less.
From my friend:
Brandon was walking with a group of friends that included his wife. A stranger walked right through the middle of their 8 person group, pushing people to the side. Words were obviously exchanged. A fight broke out and Brandon was trying to break it up. The stranger began punching Brandon and his friends didn't realize he was actually stabbing him.
Prosecutor handed C.P. fatal stabbing case
This is a prime example of how fast a bad situation can turn really, really bad. A firearm could have stopped this incident at a confrontation.
Also always be aware of the 21 foot rule*
*Speaking of which, a good article explains why it may actually be more than 21 feet.
