A gunshot is heard.
(spoiler alert!)
The farmer drags a man to a barn.(the man isn't visible)
After Edward's father captures the man, we see him drag the man out of a hole and attach a rope around the man's neck and hang him from a beam of the barn. The man's face is beat up and bruised. The farmer points his shotgun at the man.
A little bit later, we see the man hanging dead from the rope, grasping the his neck.
There are pictures in a comic book of aliens shooting soldiers.
