BRISTOL, Fla. -- Authorities said a burglar with a fake gun was shot and killed by a Panhandle homeowner with a real gun.
The Liberty County Sheriff's Office reports that Octavious Barnes, 24, broke into the home of Bradley Harvil, 82, home and tried to steal about $1,100 in cash Sunday night. Authorities said Barnes was waiving around a toy pistol, colored black with a marker to look real, and assaulted Harvil.
The homeowner was able to get to his real .357 magnum and shot Barnes in the chest and in the eye.
Authorities later concluded that three women had helped Barnes plan the burglary. Deputies have charged Jessica Nicole Long, 19, Heather Marie Ammons, 22, and Mandy Allen, 43, with felony home invasion and second-degree murder.

Yes. One in the chest and one in the head (and in this case, the eye).
Damned fine shooting for an 82 year old man (or any man for that matter) in such a highly stressful situation.

When your parents name you Octavious you just know you’re headed for a life of trouble (a short life in this instance).

Lesson to all would be criminals - you may as well bring a real gun to a burglary as you’ll still get nailed on a murder charge if one of your buds gets wasted even if you don’t carry a weapon/firearm.
