Illinois man shoots leaf-blowing neighbor in the head during argument

Ettore Lacchei, 79, allegedly approached William Martys, 59, as he cleaned his yard the evening of April 12 with a leaf blower, and the two men got into an argument before the older man took out a gun and shot his neighbor in the head, reported the Lake & McHenry County Scanner.

“Once again, easy access to firearms has turned a dispute into a deadly crime,” said Lake County state’s attorney Eric Rinehart. “We will support the victims and seek justice in the court rooms.”

Paramedics found Martys lying in the driveway of his Antioch home and pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, and police found a handgun believed to have been used in the killing near Lacchei’s property line.

I don’t condone it, but I do understand. Leaf blowers are awful. Add dementia and a gun, and you get this.
