On July 19, Roy Westbrook walked into the Hominy Diner, pulled a Glock and shot waitress Rebecca Clements dead. The early accounts of the Oklahoma shooting were enigmatic; later came the clarifying details — it was all a real-estate dispute.

Last week, a judge in Pawhuska ordered Westbrook to undergo a mental evaluation. According to the AP account in the Shawnee News-Star, Westbrook told the judge that "the term 'first-degree murder' didn't make sense to him." Westbrook also testified that "he received Social Security disability and had a third-grade reading level."

Last year, Westbrook was named Hominy Citizen of the Year and honored by the local chamber of commerce and the weekly paper, the Hominy News Progress, for his efforts in improving a local park.
