Picture of a child shooting an automatic weapon, and doing so correctly? How quaint! How odd!

What's next, 9mm is now a watersport?

I think you could probably kill with a water skee if there was enough motivation/intent

"Luis says 'I'm gonna go hit him,' We're all laughing, thought he was joking around,'" but he wasn't, Moore concedes. "We just all started hitting him."

They hurled anything they could find -- rocks, bricks, even Baum's barbecue grill -- and pounded the 49-year-old with a pipe and with the baseball bat he kept at his campsite for protection.

Ihrcke smeared his own feces on Baum's face before cutting him with a knife "to see if he was alive," Moore said.

In light of these new incidents, I motion for a ban on all baseball bats used outside the zone of war that is professional baseball games.

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - A citizen with a gun stopped a knife wielding man as he began stabbing people Thursday evening at the downtown Salt Lake City Smith's store.

Police say the suspect purchased a knife inside the store and then turned it into a weapon. Smith's employee Dorothy Espinoza says, "He pulled it out and stood outside the Smiths in the foyer. And just started stabbing people and yelling you killed my people. You killed my people."

Espinoza says, the knife wielding man seriously injured two people. "There is blood all over. One got stabbed in the stomach and got stabbed in the head and held his hands and got stabbed all over the arms."

Then, before the suspect could find another victim - a citizen with a gun stopped the madness. "A guy pulled gun on him and told him to drop his weapon or he would shoot him. So, he dropped his weapon and the people from Smith's grabbed him."

By the time officers arrived the suspect had been subdued by employees and shoppers. Police had high praise for gun carrying man who ended the hysteria. Lt. Brian Purvis said, "This was a volatile situation that could have gotten worse. We can only assume from what we saw it could have gotten worse. He was definitely in the right place at the right time."

Dozens of other shoppers, who too could have become victims, are also thankful for the gun carrying man. And many, like Danylle Julian, are still in shock from the experience. "Scary actually. Really scary. Five minutes before I walk out to my car. It could have been me."

Police say right now they have no idea what caused the suspect to go on the dangerous rampage. (We will update as soon as we learn new information.)

So far, police have not released the names of the suspect, the victims or the man who pulled the gun.

Shit ye not I heard from some random at work that someone was being held at gunpoint to stab people at a store. 3.2 seconds of google proved it wrong and random got their shit slapped for being stupid.

Still confused how they heard/misread/asspulled that version.

What's that game called where you whisper something to the person next to you, they pass it along, etc, until it gets back to you and its all fucked up?

Anyway, it's still fucking stupid that they thought that. That shit only happens in movies.

I changed the bolded word, and it could potentially be read as what ghost described.

The good thing about being on the pro-gun legislation side is that you don't have to go looking for articles portraying guns in a bad light. That shit just falls on your lap.

Telephone.

wat? lol

It's stupid. Kind of thing you do in elementary school that even elementary school students think is lame.

[Niiro]

Also it was a knife-wielding grocery store running around stabbing people that was stopped by a Salt Lake City-armed gunman.

Get your facts straight.

[hey]

the gun carrying man

Is that his name?

[Helm]

Would be more interesting that way.

[Brill Weave]

This man is a fucking bad ass.

A southern Kentucky coroner says the mother of a 2-year-old girl fatally shot by her 5-year-old brother had just stepped away from the children when the shooting occurred.

Cumberland County Coroner Gary White tells WKYT-TV that the mother said she had been outside on a porch for "no more than three minutes."

Kentucky State Police say the girl was shot Tuesday afternoon in Cumberland County and was later pronounced dead.

Cumberland County Coroner Gary White told the Lexington Herald-Leader the boy received the .22-caliber rifle as a gift and is used to shooting it. He said the rifle was kept in a corner and the family didn't realize a shell was left inside it.

White says the shooting will be ruled accidental. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.

I wonder how far FOX and Friends can spin that...
