I met Alden at a Langdon Tactical class in September 2015, in Culpeper, VA. As I recall, he earned a FAST pin shooting a Beretta 92 at that class, in the presence of ToddG himself! Some of you may have been there too. Since then I had kept in sporadic touch with Alden via social media, just talking about guns, training classes, and LE topics. He was a super nice guy. Many you of you probably enjoyed his posts here. He seemed to always find or build cool guns, like the S&W revolver with a Python barrel, or cool Berettas or 3rd Gen autos, etc.

My heart breaks for his wife and son. I just can't imagine. May God bless and comfort them.

Damn.

Damn. I always enjoyed his posts and learned a lot from him. RIP. From the obituary page it’s clear Alden made an impact in his community. I hope his family can find some comfort in that.

My office got really dusty, I got something in my eye reading that obituary from his son. I had to stop and move on.

If there is anyway we can support his family, please post it here.

I feel like we need a PF Honor Guard, damn.

Just when I thought it was about as bad as it could get.

Fuck. It was already awful news, but knowing he was one of us, a true pistolcraft practitioner. Hits home.

Christ, how terrible. We truly are diminished.

Damn. Just damn.

Haven't seen any reports on the news about what happened to the two other people they got out of the house, and whether or not they were actually doing any shooting themselves.

That’s the million dollar question that those of us who live in CLT want answered. It seems like there are 4 possibilities or a mixture of these:
1) Hughes did this all by himself.
2) People inside the home fired on the police
3) Neighbors fired on the police
4) Blue-on-blue tragedy
