The name of the song that may have sparked the shooting remained a mystery.

This sounds like a job for FReepers!

Without reading the article, I’d say it’s probably justifiable.

This happens quite often actually.

Trivia:

1) Which country has the most murders over Karaoke?

2) And over which song has most of the Karaoke murders taken place in that nation? Answers:

1)Philippines

2) Frank Sinatra's "My Way"

The "My Way" killings are a social phenomenon in the Philippines, where the killing of karaoke singers who get into disputes about their renditions of Frank Sinatra's signature tune, "My Way", has led some bars to ban the song and other singers to abstain from singing it.

“Karaoke”?

Likely justified.

he didn't like his country karaoke singing.

Isn't that the reason for karaoke?

Fine by me. I think anyone singing karaoke should be shot...

“Feelings”. Anyone who sings a karaoke version of “Feelings” does not deserve life.

Depending on the song, I’d vote to acquit on grounds of temporary insanity,

I called my barber and told him I was putting a C-note on “My way”.
