State police said three suspects arrived at the home of David Braman, 69. The suspects, Francois Muchanic, 31, of Susquehanna, Dylan Brewer 20, of New Milford and Evan Hess, 20, of Forest City were driven to the residence by Muchanic’s girlfriend, Erica Major, 30, of Susquehanna.

Muchanic knocked on Braman’s door wearing a ski mask. The victim opened his door carrying a loaded 357 Smith and Wesson revolver. Muchanic told Braman he was having car problems and needed to use his phone, according to state police.

Trooper Mark Mulvey said Braman tried to close the door when he realized Muchanic was wearing a ski mask. State police said Muchanic then forced his way into the home and began assaulting Braman and knocking him to the ground.

Braman fired three shots at Muchanic and hit him once in the groin.

providing the proof of an old axiom which is clearly true, there is no honor among thieves.

Troopers say Muchanic fled the home, falling to the ground. The two other men, Brewer and Hess left Muchanic at the scene.

These excerpts are the high points, except in the case of Mr. Muchanic.

E.T. Says "OUCH!"

“Like a .357 to the groin”

Perhaps changing the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship somewhat.

Braman fired three shots at Muchanic and hit him once in the groin.

Hopefully it resulted in a complete vasectomy.

Darwin Award?

[I want the USA back]

A better outcome would be 4 losers lying on the ground, unable to ever rob again.

A better outcome would be 4 losers lying on the ground,

Then lying underground.

Braman is being charged with performing a sex change operation without a license.

"Mr. Brewer and Mr. Hess fled into the rural landscape. Ms. Major picked up her bleeding boyfriend and put him in his car. They took off and headed for the New York border."

"He was also charged by the New York State Police as a fugitive from justice. He is in critical condition at the Binghamton hospital, state police said"

he may end up “shooting blanks” from now on.

“Old man”? 69 years old? I'm close to that age and *I'm* not old.Of course my back hurts,and I often get this pain in my side.And my feet swell up.And I get gas just about every day....

[12th_Monkey]

I agree, he’ll just produce more like himself.

[12th_Monkey]

But oh, they were good people...probably just delivering Bibles or meals on wheels

[Scoutmaster]

Now I have to explain to my daughter why I was laughing so much that I started choking.

[12th_Monkey]

I think thats how it will be done under Obamacare.

[drbuzzard]

Not the sharpest tools in the shed. Anyone who tries to break into an occupied house in rural PA really is courting Darwin.

[12th_Monkey]

but your still a better man than those folks all put together..

[Paladin2]

"And I get gas just about every day.... "

My car has a range of 700 mi.

I usually tap the home based tactical fuel reserve (not gas, Diesel) for about 5 gal/wk, thus not having to visit the gas station for months at a time.

[csvset]

Yeah, a .357 to the groin. It’s a shame he didn’t bleed to death.

[12th_Monkey]

Must have been city folk thinking an old country bumpkin was an easy mark.
