Struggle Over Gun Ends In Shooting

POWDERSVILLE, S.C. -- Sheriff's deputies are continuing to investigate a fatal shooting in Powdersville on Tuesday morning.

Detectives and a deputy talk at a home where a man was shot to death after allegedly assaulting the homeowner.

Anderson County Sheriff's Office Capt. Dale McCard told WYFF News 4's Myra Ruiz that David Devita, 47, and his 7-year-old daughter were in their Mountain View Court home when Devita's daughter said someone was at the door at about 8:30.

McCard said that when Devita answered the door, he was hit with pepper spray by the man outside, Michael Donald Cikanowick, who forced his way inside.

McCard said Cikanowick kept using the pepper spray on Devita and his daughter. The two men struggled into a bedroom, where Devita retrived a gun.

McCard said that during the struggle, Devita shot Cikanowick.

Cikanowick, 36, of Simpsonville, died at the scene.

McCard said Devita apparently had an affair with Cikanowick's wife a couple of months ago. Cikanowick also had a stun gun, handcuffs and rope with him, and McCard said he may have intended to kidnap Devita.

McCard said it does not appear charges will be filed against Devita, but he said that will be left up to the prosecutor's office after the investigation is completed.

Doesn't justify Cikanowick's actions, but he sure paid a steep price for letting his emotions get the better of his judgement.

I think it's fair to say nobody won this one.
