US police probe terrifying ordeal for ‘Slo Mo’ guy, Gavin Free

A SHOCKING news story has emerged involving Thame-born YouTube superstar, Gavin Free, and his girl friend, Meg Turney. According to the Albuquerque Journal, based in the United States where Gavin now lives, the couple hid in a wardrobe, calling 911 while a man searched through their home in Austin, Texas, armed with a gun and firing at least one round inside the house.

Less than 10 minutes later, that man was dead in the driveway, apparently by his own hand. But, thankfully, according to the report, Gavin and Meg had not been harmed. The man, according to police quoted in the report, had ‘developed a fondness’ for Meg Turney, and had made notes of violent thoughts about Gavin Free.

Gavin was brought up in Thame, and was a pupil at Lord Williams’s School in the town. He has made a name for himself producing ‘science and Technology entertainment’ YouTube videos made with high-speed cinema cameras, with his friend Daniel Charles Gruchy, also from Thame.

Their YouTube channel has over 10 million subscribers and over one billion video views.
