    Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said there had apparently been a dispute over money, according to the AP.
    In Iran, playing rock music is a punishable offense. The Yellow Dogs, who were fixtures in the Tehran underground rock scene, fled the country in 2010 and were granted asylum in the United States, where they settled down in Brooklyn. In a 2009 interview with CNN, the band is shown playing in a soundproofed basement of an apartment building in Tehran. (See Yellow Dogs beginning at 1:38.)

    Exactly, Oliver. I have too much first hand knowledge of musicians and rock bands, and they have no desire to kill one another. Your theory is far more the logical. And you've earned your third fan! ;)
