24-year-old Brandon Melcic got into a Facebook argument with a 26-year-old California man that escalated into a real-world confrontation when the man appeared outside Melcic's house in Portage, Indiana, on Sunday night and began throwing rocks. Melcic went outside to confront the man and shot the ground twice with a handgun because he felt threatened. Melcic was arrested and charged with criminal recklessness and firearms violations. The other man was not arrested. Source: Northwest Indiana Times
