Fatal shooting ruled self defense. 61-year-old Gary Bouzek died of a single gunshot wound to the head in the early morning hours of June 16th in Wabash. His 36-year-old son pulled the trigger.

Time passed and it was during the early morning hours of June 16th in Wabash that David’s girlfriend awakened him because she heard loud pounding on the roof and the door of the in-ground home. Cox said David went outside and found his father with a hammer. The son went back into the house and came back out with a .22 caliber rifle loaded with one bullet. David told investigators he advised his father he would shoot if he continued to threaten him. Investigators were told that Gary Bouzek came running toward his son and that’s when David fired the shot that struck killed his father. The 911 call was made from the Bouzek residence.

Very tragic. It’s not always like the movies where the estranged father and son reunite and have a happy ending. That’s my dad’s age. I think I’m going to call him now and tell him I love him.

“in-ground home”? What is that? A bunker? A hobbit hole?

In ground homes used to be fairly common around here with the tornadoes and all. I haven’t seen one for years. Although new ones are usually built into a hillside or something. Most used to be basically a basement with a roof. New ones are quite amazing.

I was going to say never bring a .22 to a gunfight but I have to change that to never bring a hammer to a gunfight.
