EmailPrintText SizeTeen shot to death during home invasion
The fight continued through the home and eventually back into the garage. When police arrived they arrested Barnett and transported him to Western Baptist Hospital for the gunshot, but he ultimately died.
The McCracken County Police Department reports the 18-year-old was under the influence of Psilocybin Mushrooms, or "Magic Mushrooms" as they're called on the street, and thought he was inside his own home. At one point, he even called the homeowner "Dad".

Stupid hurts.... This time it cost this kid his life. The homeowner I am sure is feeling like crap, but he did the right thing.... This is a sad story all around...
ALRIGHT! Lets legalize drugs! WOOHOO! OH YEAH! WOOT-WOOT!

Very, very sad story.But that is what ya get for being a dumbass in life and doing stupid stuff.
Poor homeowner now has to live with the fact that he shot and killed someone. That sucks big time. I hope he does realize he did what he had to do and he had no choice in the matter at the time.
THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF HE DIDN'T HAVE A GUN!!!:roll:
It works both ways.:2wave:
Or legalise them but only in a controlled enviroment, sans guns.
How do you control someone when they think they are being attacked by a big giant blue smurf?
Oh that makes sense. How do you control someone when they think they are being attacked by a big giant blue smurf?
Yeah, good luck with that. :rofl:

You know, this isn't all that bad an idea as long as the guns are still legal in places where people aren't out of their head on hallucinogenic mushrooms.
The family woke to the sound of the alarm system, indicating the door to the attached garage had been opened. The homeowner went outside to investigate, when he heard his wife inside screaming.
He ran back into the home where his wife told him the intruder, later identified as 18-year-old Andrew Caleb Barnett, was inside their attached garage attempting to get into the home through a wooden door with a window, according to police.
The homeowner reportedly yelled several times that he had a gun, telling Barnett not to come inside. However, Barnett continued to make advances toward the man.
Police say the homeowner fired one shot at Barnett, hitting him in the arm, and going into his chest area. Barnett apparently fell to the floor but got back up fighting the homeowner, at one point, biting him in the arm.
Sure. Just give out licences to sell these things on the condition that the premises in question dont allow guns sharp objects etc. and have staff to keep an eye on people. Maybe add padded walls
It's kind of hard to outlaw, restrict, or "control" them when they grow wild, and don't have to be cultivated, unlike pot.

I blame the police, and the homeowner.
OBVIOUSLY this kid thought he was at home, so everyone else acted stupidly...

I agree, and it is probably making it a heck of a lot worse for the guy who shot him.I'll bet the boy's father feels terrible, hearing that.
I'm sure he would give anything to have been there to help his son.
But it isn't his fault.
