David Osler was sentenced to 114 months in state prison last week for the September 2019 shooting of his neighbor, Robin Durand, in an incident in South Garnett. Anderson County Attorney Brandon Jones said a plea agreement led to Osler’s guilty plea on a count of attempted murder in the second degree, amended down from previous first degree murder, and a single count of criminal threat. He was sentenced to 71 months on the first count and 43 on the second, to be served consecutively. Osler walked into Robin Durand’s home on September 22nd, and fired a single shot from a 0.45 Caliber handgun which entered and exited Durand’s body as the 67-year-old Durand was seated in his living room. Osler then walked out of the house and retreated to his home in the same block, where he readied a number of handguns and ammunition, apparently in anticipation of a shoot out with police. Local officers eventually talked Osler into coming out of his residence at which time he was taken into custody. Durand was treated and survived his wound.
