David Osler will be formally arraigned on attempted murder charges January 27th, after a district court judge found there was sufficient evidence to charge him in the September 2019 shooting of his neighbour in South Garnett. Investigators say Osler, entered the front door of his neighbour’s home and fired a single round from a 0.45 Caliber handgun which struck Robin Durand as he sat on a living room sofa. Osler then left the home and went to his residence and engaged a standoff with area law enforcement for several hours. Inside Osler’s home officers found a number of weapons and extra ammunition and prepared fighting positions which led them to believe he expected a shoot-out with police in the home. Neighbors reported several contacts with Osler in which he threatened Durand and his wife. Osler’s family members say that he had threatened to kill other family members as well as law officers. Osler has been in custody in Anderson County Jail since his arrest with a bond set at $10 million, and will be arraigned on attempted murder and other smaller charges.
