i found out today that a friend of mine had been shot in a home invasion a few months ago. apparently what happened was that after he had taken a friend of ours home after their band practice. the guy he took home lives in an apartment complex that is not in a good neighborhood at all and has alot of gang activity, he's been trying to move but due to allimony and child support he's having trouble finding something he can afford in a better neighborhood. they were having a few beers when three guys kicked the door in. two of the armed men were carrying pistols and one was carrying a sawed off shotgun. they demanded money and that they get down on their knees. both of my friends complied fully and were cooperative. the three guys got what they wanted and then started kicking and yelling at my friends telling them that they had no business living there. on their way out of the apartment one of the guys put a pistol to my friends head and told him he was about to die. my friend flinched when he pulled the trigger and the round traveled around his scalp and went out through the opposite side of his head above his ear and went through a window. the robbers ran out immedietly after the gunshot. both my friends cell phones had been taken and the unharmed friend had to go door to door asking someone to call for help. my friend survived the shooting but i found out he had to be put into a mental health facility due to traumatic affects of what had happened.
i used to play in the same band with both these guys and had taken the same guy home on numerous occasions when his pos car was in the shop. this got me to thinking if i had been there could i have done something to prevent what happened.
