According to this article in the Dayton Daily News (registration required)…

An 84-year-old man was sentenced to seven years in prison Friday for shooting a neighbor in a dispute over the construction of a garage.
…
Hashman testified during his trial that he shot Oskins because he feared his neighbor would grind his feet off with the snow blower.

So where is police Sgt. Dumbass, from a couple of posts ago, to say “It sounds like it’s just a simple mistake by an elderly man,” and that he “seriously doubts” charges will be filed? I mean, the old guy is either mentally disturbed or thought he was in danger. In either case, it turns out he was wrong about the snow blower, and hence, shooting the other guy. Oops! He should be cut some slack, right?

There’s no mention in the article of whether either man owns or uses a cell phone, or if a cell phone was somehow involved in the shooting, or the tension leading up to it.
