Douglas Moore, 65, who supports the war, shot and killed Harold Wayne Smith, 56, who opposed it.

Moore was released without charges after convincing police he acted in self-defense. A grand jury may still hear evidence in the case.

Attorney Brent Turner says the episode may mark the first death in the U.S. stemming from a spat over the Iraq War.

Witness Sam Hamman tells reporters Wayne mentioned the 14 people that were killed in Iraq last week. Moore responded that just as many people were killed on Kentucky's highways

An argument ensued and both men eventually drew pistols outside a snack shed. According to witnesses, Wayne was slower in drawing his gun.
