Allen S. Davis appears in a Franklin County Courtroom for a bond hearing Thursday, Aug. 24, 2006 in Columbus, Ohio. A teenager was shot Tuesday night in the head and critically wounded after taking part in a dare while out looking for ghosts at a house considered spooky by local teens, police said Wednesday. The 40-year-old who lives in the house was arrested the day after the shooting. Davis, a self-employed nonfiction writer who lives with his 64-year-old mother, said he prepared the rifle after numerous instances of trespassing but didn't know until Wednesday that teens considered his house haunted. (AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato)  WORTHINGTON, Ohio (AP) - Someone shot at a carload of teenage girls, critically wounding one of them, after some of them had stepped near a house that had been rumored by fellow students to be haunted, police said.

A man who lives in the house, Allen S. Davis, was arrested Wednesday in the shooting of 17-year-old Rachel Barezinsky the night before. He told reporters Wednesday from jail that he was trying to drive off trespassers and didn't intend to hurt the girls.

Barezinsky remained in critical condition Thursday at Ohio State University Medical Center, a nursing supervisor said.
