Bang / Guns Title: 1 dead, 4 jailed after failed robbery ["Armed" robbers with toy gun encounter ARMED homeowner] FAIRBORN, Ohio (WDTN) - One man is dead and four others in jail after an attempted home invasion in Fairborn Monday afternoon.
Police responded to the house at 1006 Victoria Avenue around 5 p.m.. after a neighbor heard gunshots called 911. "The resident decided to fight back and shot two of the men," said Sergeant Paul Hicks, with the Fairborn Police Department. Ta'Vaun Fambrough, 19, of Dayton died at Miami Valley Hospital from a gunshot wound to the chest. Anthony Barwick, 20, of Dayton, was shot in the leg. He was treated and released into police custody. Barwick, along with London Norman, 23, Deron McGuire Jr., 23, and Tavaughn Lewis, 19, the other men police said were involved in the home invasion, are all being held in the Greene County Jail on charges of felony aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, and kidnapping. Police said the men went to the house with the intent to rob the occupants. They said Barwick pointed a plastic gun at Trent Seitz and Christopher Muse. That's when investigators said Muse shot Barwick in the leg and Fambrough in the chest. "Seitz and Muse have not been charged in the fatal shooting," said Sgt. Hicks, who is calling this incident, self-defense. The case has brought to light the very controversial and hot topic of gun laws in our country. "We have the right to protect our home," said Larry Moore, who is a Region Leader with the Buckeye Firearm's Association. Moore said this incident is a prime example as to why gun ownership should remain legal. "It's for self defense and its needed when we have people in society who will break laws and who would come into your home," said Moore. Moore also referenced the Castle Law/Doctrine. "You have a right to protect your home, your castle," said Moore. "I believe most people would agree with that right even those people who don't have guns in their home." Mervin Law lives next door to the Victoria Avenue home and agrees with Moore's statements. "I think everyone has the right to protect their home and family," said Law. The four men in custody were arraigned Tuesday. Poster Comment: I love stories with a happy ending!

I work part time at Indra's in Eugene, Oregon where I also have one of my desktops set up. Earlier this week, the open carry guy who comes in here walked by me and went into the restroom behind me. A minute later we heard a loud gunshot and a scream from the loo. We yelled in asking him if he was OK and he answered, "Get an ambulance." He had shot himself through the leg putting his old west style replica revolver. We put a tourniquet on his leg and he asked for us to hide his gun so the police would not take it. I told him no way, that then the police would wonder if we shot him, create suspicion, and that that would be tampering with evidence. He was taken off to the hospital with a serious leg injury. The bullet fortunately ricocheted and went through the roof. http://www.registerguard.com/web/updates/29381719-55/eugene-police-bathroom-leg-business.html.csp

Replies to Comment # 3. He put a story on his facebook page the other day (he's out of the hospital) that he was home cleaning his gun when he accidently knocked ot off the table causing it to discharge. We all wrote comments on it calling him a pathetic liar. He also wanted us to hide the gun so the cops wouldn't get it, which we of course refused. Just what we would need, the cops asking who did this to him. His name is mud around here. That was no place to practice quick draw technique in front of the mirror with a S&W Model 19 357 magnum in a leather holster with rifle rounds sewn to it to make the belt look cool.
