Deandre R. Welch Faces Sentencing After Gun Malfunction Incident

Man’s gun jams multiple times during domestic violence incident

by Amelia Crawford

Deandre R. Welch, who stood before his attorney James F. Gust at his January 23, 2025 sentencing hearing, made headlines for a disturbing incident in Buena Vista Township. Welch, in an act of domestic violence, pointed a gun at his estranged wife, intending to harm her. However, in a surprising turn of events, the gun malfunctioned — jamming not once, but three times.

Welch interpreted the repeated malfunctions as a sign from God, believing that the failed attempts were a divine intervention giving him a chance to avoid becoming a killer. His actions, while stopped by the gun’s mechanical failure, still led to serious charges. The community and legal officials alike are grappling with the implications of the event, as Welch’s sentencing continues.

While the gun’s failure saved a life that day, the legal consequences for Welch’s actions remain, with his future hanging in the balance as he faces the court’s decision.
