Gas Station Owner Miraculously Spared After Drive-By Shooting
Matt Gardner, proprietor of the Oberlin road filling station, was seated inside when a passing car fired a small caliber bullet through the door window and into the rear wall. The shot likely aimed to kill but misfired, with Gardner escaping injury as the grey coupe sped away. Gardner did not report the incident, citing fear of unfavorable publicity. Authorities consider possible ties to past robberies at the station, with suspects previously jailed or associates of those involved. Sheriff John Salzman recently presented Gardner with a Winchester riot gun.
