The confrontation started at 11:12 p.m. Oct. 24 when Abernathy and a friend rode an all-terrain vehicle under the locked gate on McKinley's private road in the Boiling Springs area.
Prosecutors in a statement Wednesday said McKinley fired shots in the air from his porch while his wife, Carolyn McKinley, called 911 to report trespassing

(My summary of several paragraphs):

Abernathy rode the ATV up to the house, homeowner retreated to his home, Abernathy attacked the homeowner, attempted to grab the gun, got shot for his efforts, died on the scene.
