Local authorities say they have no idea why the bounty hunters chose to invade the home of the Foote family - where Chris Foote, 23, and girlfriend Spring Wright, 20, were gunned down early Sunday morning. At least two suspects have been arrested. The hunters were pursuing a California man who had skipped out on a mere $25,000 bond.
