KEVIL, KY (KFVS) – A man was shot and killed in McCracken County 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”.

When I was Andrew’s age I too took ‘Magic Mushrooms’ while sitting on a park bench in the Boston Commons. It was a sunny day when I opened my bag of shit smelling brown sticks and mushroom caps and I was ready for one spectacular ride.

I polished off my delectable buffet of cow shit fungi, no water mind you, when I turned to the smelly wino next to me and said ‘Dad, can I get a swig of that’ pointing to his back-washed laden bourbon bottle. Unlike Andrew who mistook a stranger for his Dad, the malodorous man sitting on the bench next to me was my Dad, so it was all good.

Moral of the story is, if you are going to take ‘Magic Mushrooms’ make sure you do them with your Dad, whether he is a hobo, or not.
