Beary, described as being very personable and "the greatest guy," got himself into a conversation with another bar patron during the meal.

Witnesses told police the trouble began when a man claimed his German shepherd weighed 290 pounds, a figure Beary apparently found hard to believe.

According to KTVI-TV, Beary said he couldn't see how a dog could weigh nearly as much as he did.

As Beary was leaving, the dog owner's friend allegedly called him "a fat (expletive)." When Beary turned to confront the man, asking why he would call him a name, gunshots rang out.

"A guy yelled something horrible and mean and Scott turned around and [Scott's coworker] said next thing you know, he heard four pops," said Jeana Sellenschuetter, Beary's boss at CSM Construction.

"We took everything under advisement so we have time to go through everything thoroughly and to check it against the various statutes that come into play on this, not just the homicide statutes but defense statutes, self defense, stand your ground, everything that plays into that, which in this situation has certainly complicated things," McCulloch said.

McCulloch said the shooter “may end up charged at some point and he may not.” A decision could come by the end of the week

No way a German Shepard weighs 290. A big fat Great Dane maybe or one of those Russian bear dogs but not a German Shepard.

Id like to see you try this in Missouri

Beary allegedly made a comment about his own weight being 325 pounds and he couldn’t imagine a dog that size.

The dog owner soon left, along with the gunman.

The gunman returned a few minutes later and Leavy says he appeared agitated and “didn’t seem the same,” he told the Post-Dispatch.

well it's clear the murderer was rude, but not a liar. the dog probably was actually 290 pounds

Its a pretty specific number so if he was lying he is good at it

The best defense is not ignorance of the law
