.....to a sad story....

The shooter who severely injured a young would-be "ghost hunter" has been sentenced to 19 years in prison. The young lady, Rachel Barezinsky is permanently paralysed, and the internet is still littered with so-called ghost groups that have no problem endorsing trespassing....

Here is a snippet from CNN:

WORTHINGTON, Ohio (AP) -- It has come to be known as the Spooky House Incident: A group of teenagers in this quaint older suburb who tried to scare themselves on a "ghost hunt" and a recluse who responded with gunfire, leaving two lives wrecked.

A pretty blonde high school cheerleader, Rachel Barezinsky, is crippled for life.

Allen S. Davis, roused from an eccentric but otherwise unoffending existence, was sentenced last month to 19 years in prison for what he describes as defending his home.

A year after the shots were fired, the bizarre case has left residents around Columbus torn.

While plenty of people felt Davis got what he deserved for overreacting to teenager antics, many others saw the girls as picking on Davis and facing no legal consequences for trespassing.

"I felt kind of sorry for both sides," resident Jane Leppert said as she sat outside a coffee shop near the village's brick-paved square. "Although I feel very sorry for the girl who was shot, she unfortunately messed around with a kind of paranoid individual who felt the need to protect himself, even against kids."

Sad....and something to remember when dealing with said "ghost groups" that have no problem with sneaking into cemeteries after hours, entering seemingly abandoned buildings, and otherwise breaking the law.
