On July 4, 2006, after a family BBQ in
the backyard 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.
"What the Hell?"
Rob's last words!
