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.

Yup. Ouch. At least until the .357 bullet moving at about 1200 fps reached the part of the perp that processes pain...

How long before (Illegitmate) President Obama says that the homeowner acted “stupidly”?

My guess is that the women found out that Barnes was three timing them.
Hey Octavious, why don't you rob this homeowner. Use this toy gun, he won't shoot you."

The deceased home invader was “Octavious” Barnes. Hmmmmm....seems the stage may be set for the Racist in Chief to claim the 82 year old homeowner acted “stupidly.”

I like my Remington 870 pump too! The 00 Buck is like shooting someone nine times with a .357 Magnum at once. It makes a real mess.

Gotta ask the question no one else will. Was Octavious really a Roman?
For certain he was mentally challenged, even before the 357 changed his way of thinking.

Yes, Mr DRT was a ‘brother’.
More on the story
Authorities are saying the four have been planning this since June of this year. Bradley Bradley Harvell, 82, owner and operator of the Slip N Slide bar had no idea what was coming to him. Sunday night Octavious Barnes and his counter-parts put their plan into action. Octavious broke into Brad Harvells home with a toy gun that he colored with a majik marker. He then assaulted Mr. Harvell with a shocking device.
During the scuffle Brad Harvell is said to of given Octavious roughly $1100. Mr. Harvell was able to get to his .357 Magnum pistol and catch Octavious with the $1100 that he still was able to hold onto even after two bullets ripped through him. The victim caught him once in the chest, and once in the eye. Thats that for Octavious Barnes.
Stay tuned for the fate of the other three losers, all women, all destined to spend the better part of the rest of their lives behind bars, and not the Slip N Slide bar in Bristol
