Defecating dog sparks US shootout

Two neighbours in the US state of Mississippi drew weapons and fired at each other as an argument over a defecating dog ran out of control.

I once filed assault 4th degree charges against a particularly unpleasant man who threatened to poison my dogs because he thought (erroneously) that one had urinated on his bush. I wanted a paper trail in case anything came of it. But drawing guns...well, that's even crazier.
