Man Indicted in 'Spooky House' Shooting
Aug 31st - 10:25pm



COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A grand jury indicted a man Thursday on charges of felonious assault in the shooting of a teen who along with her friends was sneaking around outside his house on a ghost hunt.

Each count returned by the Franklin County grand jury against Allen Davis, 40, carries a sentence of three to eight years in prison. He is accused of firing a rifle from the house at a carload of girls after hearing them outside the night of Aug. 22. They considered the house spooky.

One of the girls, Rachel Barezinsky, 17, was shot in the head and critically injured but had improved to fair condition Thursday night at Ohio State University Medical Center, a nursing supervisor said.

Davis remained at the Franklin County Jail on $500,000 bond Thursday night. His arraignment was set for Friday morning.

In jailhouse interviews, he has admitted firing the rifle but said he didn't mean to hurt them. He said they were juvenile delinquents and shouldn't have been trespassing at the 66-year-old house, which sits across from a cemetery.

The girls and other high school students have gone out to cemeteries to hunt for ghosts before, the girl's father, Greg Barezinsky, has said.
