John "Skillet" Ulmschneider, 37, and volunteer firefighter Kevin Swain, 19, walked into his home in Temple Hills, Maryland in response to a medical welfare check. Ulmschneider was killed, Swain was critically wounded, and Lumpkin's brother was wounded. Swain was in serious but stable condition after he went underwent surgery last April. On Friday, Jan. 20, Lumpkin pled guilty to one felony charge. He was initially being charged in relation to the actual shooting death, which was considered accidental and in self-defense.
