A Fremont RV owner, Greg White, is arrested after he fatally shoots his longtime friend Frank Bingham, claiming self-defense amid a heated argument. Court documents reveal that the incident unfolded when Bingham allegedly entered the RV brandishing a sharpened metal pipe and threatened to stab White, prompting the fatal shot around 10:35 a.m. on July 1. Eyewitness accounts characterize Bingham as agitated, with accusations of his possible drug use adding complexity to the already tense situation.
Despite the shooting leading to Bingham’s death, White faces minor firearms charges and is held without bail while awaiting a sentencing hearing for separate firearm possession charges linked to a past felony. Remarkably, no murder or manslaughter charges have been filed in what is already marked as Fremont’s second homicide of 2025, raising questions about how self-defense cases are evaluated by law enforcement. This incident highlights the potential legal ramifications of confrontations that escalate quickly in the community.
