I didn't see this posted anywhere. Several states have passed legislation similar to Maryland's whereby gun confiscation results after some sort of reporting by an outside source that bypasses due process for the person being reported. This one turned deadly. I'm not sure why police would pick 5AM in the morning to execute the order. The man's actions doomed him, perhaps he considered it theft by the police if he wasn't familiar with the new law whereby your possessions can be confiscated by police based on someone's word. He was probably confused when he read the Constitution.
“Under the law, family, police, mental health professionals can all ask for the protective orders to remove weapons,” said Sgt. Jacklyn David, with Anne Arundel County Police.
Police continue to investigate the shooting. At this time it’s not clear who called police to alert them about Willis.
