Cops Refute Metal Guitarist's Shoot Out Story

07/09/2009
. (Rock Radio) Rock news outlets have been reporting how Phil Fasciana of Malevolent Creation [claimed he]interrupted a store hold-up last week. The guitarist has said he was shot at four times before disarming the junkie perp and shooting him dead. But with no one to back him up, reporters have been asking whether it really happened. Rock Radio has the answer.

Rock Radio has spoken to Detective Mark Shotwell of Fort Lauderdale Police's homicide squad, who says he's been unable to find any evidence of such an event.

He explains: "This did not happen. Our last murder was on June 22 and Fasciana was not involved. I'm certain of this. Even if the death was a result of self-defense it would still be classed as a homicide and investigated as such."
