UPDATE: Elderly Man Defends Himself in Home Invasion, 1 Person Dead
Fairmont police have identified the three people involved in Tuesday morning's deadly home invasion on the 700 block of Gaston Avenue.
Upon arriving at a residence, police said they found a man dressed in black lying in the road with a gunshot wound to his head/neck. He has been identified as Larry Shaver, 28, of Fairmont. Shaver was later pronounced dead at the scene.
They also found another man shot in the lower torso, across the street. He has been identified as John Grossklaus, 28, of Fairmont.
An 80-year-old man living in the residence said Shaver, Grossklaus and a woman attempted to rob him after the woman came to his door, asking to use his phone for an emergency, according to a press release from the Fairmont Police Department. When he let her in, two men dressed in dark clothes entered the home, showed what appeared to be a handgun, and demanded items from the victim.

Should the homeowner have taken on the three assailants bare-handed for the good of society?
