74 year-old newspaper carrier shot in carjacking

The irony would be humorous if it wasn't so deadly serious. This elderly man's employer, the Dayton Daily News, has worked for years to prevent the restoration of his Constitutional right to defend himself, and they continue to do so today.

A Dayton Daily News carrier was shot in the leg during a carjacking as he delivered newspapers this morning, police said.

Henry L. Caver, 74, of Dayton told police he was delivering in the 1500 block of Bancroft Street just before 5:40 a.m. when a man shot him in the right shin, then took his Plymouth Caravan, according to a police report.

Caver was treated at an area hospital. His wound was not considered life-threatening, according to Daily News officials.

Caver's van was later found on fire in the parking lot of Western Manor apartments, 1718 N. James H. McGee Blvd., according to the police report.
