KEVIL, KY (KFVS) - A man was shot and killed in McCracken County after police say he tried to break into a family's home around 2:00 a.m.

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.

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".

Police located four people who apparently provided the drugs to Barnett and arrested them. They were identified as 19-year-old Taylor Thompson of West Paducah, 19-year-old Zachary Rodgers of Kevil, 18-year-old Ryan Bridges of West Paducah and 18-year-old Kristen Mohler of Kevil.

Additional charges are possible as the investigation continues. Charges against the homeowner are not expected.

Doesn't say the caliber, but to have an intruder get back up and fight? Biting the homeowner???

Keep firing....

Drugs will artificially create super "BG's" we've all heard the stories. Got 12g?

Tragic story for a young man. But not stopping, continuing, fighting, biting, ergo "attacking"....netted this result. I'm sure the homeowner is going through a difficult time.

Teen shot to death during home invasion

Ok, am I the only one that the article's headline pisses off?  Why couldn't they have written "Homeowner Defends Family Against Intruder", or "Burglar Shot To Death During Home Invasion"?  I mean, what the hell does the BG's age have to do with anything?  A homeowner defended himself and his family against an intruder, period, the fricking end!!

Attention Liberal Media Asshats:
A "teen" can kill somebody just as easily and effectively as someone older.











douchebags.

I agree with you both,

Headline reads "Teen", second word of article reads MAN.

Age is overall irrelevant to the action, "teens" can be even more ruthless than adults. The two "teens" that went to school one day in Columbine, Colorado attest to that.

The suspect arrested for 19+ cat mutilations here in S. Florida , is technically a "teen". Although the law says he's an adult.

Liberal media asshats can't attack gun owners that protect themselves and their families in obvious cases of SD.

So they try a heartstring move, in the headlines. 

+1 on the douchebags...

Semantics, but doesn't " shot to death " mean dead right there, shot until death occurs?

Should read " Home invader shot, dies later in custody in hospital "

He was shot and fell to the ground, then got up and bit the guy. Sounds like we're dealing with a zombie.

Not only that but the Brady bunch will count him as another "child killed by gun violence".

I've got no problem with that. Anyone breaking into my home will encounter a great deal of "gun violence" and possibly other forms of violence as well. Screw'em.

In my line of work I spend a bit of time in Paducah, I can say that it is by no means a liberal town with liberal media.  I dont believe the writer had liberal agenda in mind when he titled it that way...he simply wanted shock factor to get readership... That end of teh state is a good place to consider for our bunker discussion.
