Ed Barkhurst, 72, was unaware he was about to experience a second deadly brush with violence when a man solicited him for yard work at his Napa, Calif., home. After Barkhurst refused the man's offer, he went back inside his house, armed himself and called for assistance. That's when the man forced his way through the exterior door. Barkhurst answered by firing a single fatal shot. Three years earlier, Barkhurst had given a ride to two teen-agers who said their car had broken down. According to police, they later repeatedly stabbed Barkhurst and left him for dead.
