They're in a Better Place. The Shotguns, I Mean.

It wasn't until Martin reached the home that he realized just how vicious the blaze was: The roof and porch were gone, and the woods and a nearby camper were ablaze. Testifying Monday, the assistant chief of the West Chester (SC) Volunteer Fire Department said firefighters were certain no one could be inside the home, so they put out the fire and began trying to salvage the homeowner's guns.

They didn't learn until later that Joe Pittman, 66, and Joy Pittman, 62, lay dead upstairs.
