On July 4, 2006, after a family BBQ in the 
backyard and accompanied by the 
annual fireworks show held by The Briar 
Patch, a nearby golf course, Robert A 
Webb, 44, was killed in a police involved 
shooting at his residence in Raleigh 
County, WV.
Rob was playing music and shooting 
firecrackers and his weapon up in the air 
in celebration, as is customary in many 
parts of this country. A feuding neighbor 
jumped at the chance for revenge and 
dialed the non-emergency number for the 
Sheriff's Department to report that Rob 
had been firing a pistol, he had not shot 
in a while and she only wanted a patrol 
vehicle to drive by his house. His 
punishment for shooting a weapon in 
celebration of this holiday was death.
Read on to learn more about Rob's life 
and what happened the night Amy Smith 
made that dreadful phone call.
Instead of choosing non-lethal methods 
of force in their response, the deputies 
opted for a 40 Glock and 12 gauge 
shotgun with .00 buckshot. Rob didn't 
have a chance.
