Bad Trip Ends at Wrong House: KY
Bad Trip Ends at Wrong House: A man was shot and killed in
McCracken County [KY] 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”
