NEWBERRY - A dispute reportedly over sacred Indian stones resulted in a 32-year-old man being shot to death around 12:30 a.m. Thursday inside a Woodward Township home in Lycoming County.
Police detained 44-year-old Kevin Bennardi who admitted to shooting Michael Woodhead in Bennardis home at 59 Wither Hollow Lane. No charges have been filed against Bennardi.
The Sun Gazette reports, Bennardi told police Woodhead charged at him when he shot Woodhead multiple times with a .22 caliber rifle. Bennardi told investigators that Woodhead "was upset with him because he had touched Woodhead's sacred Indian stones."
Woodhead, who is an American Indian, had apparently left behind some sacred stones at Bennardis home when he moved to Muncy Valley two months ago.
Police say Bennardi call 9-1-1 shortly after shooting Woodhead and told the 9-1-1 dispatcher he had just shot and killed Woodhead.
Geez, I sure wouldn’t want to touch his stones.
NEVER touch another man’s stones. Unless you’re a doctor and everybody understands what’s about to happen.
Calling Indiana Jones. . .
if they were so sacred, WHY were they left behind???
Bottle of Bennardi and a Woodhead cigar, only thing missing is the Rush Limbaugh program.
Where did he get the .22lr ammo?
Some people have been known to keep a few rounds for emergencies....
An Indian and his stones - it’s a savage thing.
Yeah, but this did not sound like an emergency......
“Don’t touch my junk”
