Holy shit. Phil Fasciana is the guitarist for Malevolent Creation. I'm not sure of the facts here, because only Phil's side of the story is presented and this apparently has not been picked up by too many other news outlets. Essentially the facts are these from what we can tell:

1. Phil had a craving for chocolate milk (the most metal of all milks) and stopped off at a convenience store.

2. The convenience store was currently in the process of being robbed.

3. The robber fired four shots at Phil at 10 feet away, none of which hit him.

4. Phil, after realizing he was not hurt tackled the robber and wrestled his gun away from him.

5. The robber reached for another gun and Phil shot him twice in the head.

Pretty amazing story, if true. There is certainly an argument for self defense, as the robber attempted to shoot Phil just as he walked in the door. I'll be curious to see facts as they further develop.

UPDATE: This looks to be false. Not sure of the motivations behind fabricating this story, perhaps to get people to buy Malevolent Creation albums. It's disappointing, that was a pretty incredible story.
