BLABBERMOUTH.NET - MALEVOLENT CREATION Guitarist Allegedly Involved In Real-Life Shootout
Guitarist Phil Fasciana of long-running Florida death metallers MALEVOLENT CREATION was reportedly involved in a bizarre shootout at a convenient store in his hometown of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. According Fasciana, he pulled into a small store at around 3:00 p.m. Friday afternoon (July 3) to get something to drink and walked right into a robbery in progress. "I went in this little store on my way home to get a chocolate milk, of all things, and little did I know, I was walking into a life-or-death situation," he says. "When I walked into the store, I did not notice anyone else in the store until someone started screaming at me and pointed a gun at me. I nearly shit myself, because the dude looked wacked out of his mind and fired four shots directly at me and I went down to the ground because I thought I was surely shot. After about 30 seconds, I realized I was not hit at all and the shooter thought I was dead or injured and started attacking the store worker when I snuck up behind the burglar and talked [to] him and took the gun out of his hands and told him to get out of the store. He then reached in his sock and pulled another gun out and pointed it at me and that's when I fired two shots into his head, killing him instantly!
"Never in my life has anything so twisted happened to me before and I would like to forget it ever happened, but I had no other choice. Lucky for me, the stupid crackhead burglar had the worst aim in the world and missed me with all four shots from about 10 feet away! Needless to say, all charges have been dropped and the store owner has offered me a lifetime of chocolate milk! Ha Ha!
"I have been in some scary situations before, but having someone shoot out you from that close and miss is a fucking miracle and I have no remorse for killing the assailant who tried to take my life and the store owner's.
"I gotta move out of this town!! I have enough problems as it is!!
"I am very lucky and could easily be dead at this moment, but I'm not and I'm gearing up for our Mexican, South American and European headlining tour which start at the end of July.
"I would like to put this behind me and not talk about it anymore. It was the most fucked up thing I have ever been involved with, besides my ex-girlfriend!!"
UPDATE: According to Phil, the entire incident was captured on the store's surveillance video, but the police has yet to release the tape.

This has not been reported anywhere other than Blabbermouth so I have to question it's legitimacy. I would think that the media would jump all over something like this.

Yeah... and Blabbermouth said they couldn't find any independent confirmation of this story either.

well I mean, if anyone watches Tru TV, this shit seems to happen all the time, and we don't hear about it... unless it happens in the town we live in of course. Malevolent isn't exactly TMZ material.

Exactly...I doubt you'd hear about this on CNN.

I'm not talking CNN. I am talking about the web sites of Ft. Lauderdale media outlets such as radio and TV stations and local papers. There is nothing regarding this. Don't you think at least the local media in Ft. Lauderdale would cover something such as this?

Beats me, Like I said, watching Tru TV, I see shit that supposably happened in like a Lynnwood gas station (or it was somewehre right aroudn here), and I dont' remember hearing about it. I do see where you coming from though, if we knew what town etc... Otherwise I could just say I did the same thing.
we demand proof!

From someone who is very close to the band:
"the old singer for MC (Kyle Simmons) works for the Lauderdale (Broward) county sheriff's department and there's no record of any such incident in the system."

This is the line that screams bullshit to me espcially without anyone making a fuss over it.
"He then reached in his sock and pulled another gun out and pointed it at me and that's when I fired two shots into his head, killing him instantly!"
He shot him and TA-DA! Game over? Right. Not with our system.
*edit to add, for publicity, it worked. I've now got a mad hankerin' for some Malevolent Creation!

I like the comment from the guy that simply says "
Pants On Fire."
Sums it up nicely.

I think it is true. I used to live in Florida for most of my life. And the crime rate there is pretty high. Too much happens to fit it all in the paper. That's for sure.

He also said this would have been his SECOND time killing a homeless crackhead for wandering out in the street in front of his car without ANY legal reprimand.
*ahem*
Either he and OJ should be friends or he needs a higher dose of his meds.
~On a related note, MC's myspace apparently didn't think my comment about Obama declaring open season on '80 pound crackheads' was as funny as I did...

Humor is not allowed in death metal.

Who knows if the story was true or not. I don't know. I know a lot of fucked up things happen in certain parts of Florida. By the way, sorry me and Dave missed the party at Hodges. Was going to go, but I wasn't feeling that great. I'm over 3 months pregnant, so things been a little queezy for me. Hope all is going well for ya Red.
