About a half hour from where I live, a college student was killed because she and her friends got lost and turned around in a person's driveway. They were backing out to head away when he came running at them, firing a gun. She got hit in the neck and her boyfriend (in the driver's seat next to her) had to drive with her dying until they could a) get away and b) get good enough cellphone reception to cell 911.

I've turned around in people's driveways many times. At most, I'd expect the homeowners to look through the window at me warily to make sure I'm leaving, not come running at me with guns blazing.

But, sadly, that seems to be the world we're living in.
