Trial ordered in death after snow blower fight
SWOYERSVILLE, Pa. — A northeastern Pennsylvania man has been ordered to stand trial in a shooting death that authorities said stemmed from a fight over a snow blower.
Brian Pavia, 39, of Plains Township is charged in the Dec. 17 death of 38-year-old John Dulsky in Forty Fort.
Defense attorneys say their client acted in self-defense after being punched in the face by Dulsky. They say his 911 call seconds after the shooting prove that he didn’t intend to kill anyone.
“I need help, a guy just came after me. I shot him; I need your help very badly. Please hurry!” Pavia is heard screaming on the 911 call.
