With a suspect still at large following the fatal double homicide at Devils Den State Park, self-defense instructor Kenton Lee, who operates out of Reaper Fitness in Fayetteville, is promoting the importance of personal safety training. Lee emphasizes that physical fitness does not guarantee protection if a person is unprepared for an assault. He advocates for carrying defensive tools such as firearms, pepper spray, or whistles, which can help prevent or deter attacks and raise alarms to attract help. Lee notes the skillful application of self-defense techniques requires methodical practice and scenario training to build competence and confidence. The park trails remain closed as law enforcement continues their search.
