According to Donaldson's story to police, the two men came to his home tonight and created a disturbance. Owens, he told police, had been drinking. Donaldson said he asked the two men to leave because his grandmother, Mrs. Josephine Titus, had died last night, and her body was in the house.
After the two men had got in their car, Donaldson said, they drove up to where Donaldson was standing. IT was then, according to Donaldson, that Owens produced a pistol. Donaldson hit the gun as Owens fired, according to the story, and the two men then scuffled. Another shot was fired. Officers were called and the two men were arrested.
