D’oh!!!

LANCASTER CO (PA)—A Lancaster County man shot himself in the leg while trying to pull a handgun on his victim during a robbery, deputies say.

The shooting happened at 5267 Pleasant Plains Road around 11:30 a.m. Upon the arrival of deputies, Darick Mcgriff, 22, was found at his house, 3707 Fork Hill Road, with an apparent gunshot wound to the leg. He was there with his brother Joel McGriff, 26. About 100 yard away, other officers met a robbery victim.

After a detailed investigation it was determined that Darick and Joel McGriff approached the victim on Pleasant Plains Road and went around to the side of the house with him, according to a release from the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office. Darick McGriff then demanded that the victim give him the property in his pockets. Darick McGriff took a quantity of cash from the victim and demanded additional property. Darick McGriff then attempted to pull a handgun from his pocket and accidentally shot himself in the leg.

Both the McGriff’s fled the scene. Both have been charged with armed robbery. Darick McGriff was also charged with possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.

The victim was uninjured during the incident, and both McGriff brothers remain incarcerated awaiting a bond hearing.

I think he’d better sue the gun company right quick. Pesky pistols, always going off when you yank them by the trigger. Product liability!!!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
