Police say a Willston Park, New York, man shot his girlfriend in the back Monday following an argument about the AMC adaptation of The Walking Dead.

Twenty-six-year-old Jared M. Gurman reportedly believed a military mishap could lead to the release of a virus, triggering a zombie apocalypse; Jessica Gelderman, 27, thought the idea was absurd.

According to police, the argument escalated and even continued through text messages after Gelderman left the apartment to spend the night at her parents’ house.

When Gelderman returned to try to smooth things over with her boyfriend, police allege he was sitting on the stairs with a .22-caliber rifle; a single round pierced her lung and diaphragm and shattered her ribs.

Gurman was arrested when he took Gelderman to the hospital. She’s in stable condition with the bullet still in her body.

The astonishing part of the story is that the nerd had a girlfriend to begin with.

Glad she survived. You know, a lot of zombie afficiandoes really try for headshots. I guess her boyfriend went for center mass.

Jessica is correct. Walking dead are impossibilities that become even less possible as time goes by. Too many electrical and chemical processes have to be working for a body to remain animated. Even the zombies in the series are decaying a bit which means the series can only last so long.

The Walking Dead isn’t a nerdy show. It’s a good drama set in a science fiction environment.

A nerd would recognize the impossibility of walking dead bodies. This guy is just an idjit.

[cripplecreek]

Ive never been a fan of zombie flicks but I do love the walking dead. There are a lot of good questions raised about surviving in a post societal world.

It was a joke.

...has A SHOT AT having a girlfriend...

[cripplecreek]

It was a joke.

But I actually am a nerd so I couldn't pass up a serious discussion on the possibility of zombies.

If it weren’t for The Walking Dead, this girl would be at home without a bullet in her back. ~ Bob Costas

“It’s only a TV show” PING!

[cripplecreek]

I blame the fact that the show teats a redneck like a valued member of the group. Why, he's even friendly black people!

Well, he did. And he blew it.





Right through her ribs.

[BigCinBigD]

Shooting her is going to come back and bite him in the arse...

[Resolute Conservative]

Stupidest show ever, besides everything on Bravo Channel.

[McGruff]

I feel the same way.

Aw shucks! You mean Rick, Lori and Shane have nothing to do with this at all?!!!

More seriously, I pray the woman recovers and is able to find a new boyfriend.

Something a bit like rabies would be like a zombie virus.

Close enough anyway. Unbridled aggression, reduced fluidity of motion, unslakable thirst/hunger, hypersensitivity to stimulus, inattention to injuries and skin infections, spread by bites and body fluids and followed by ultimate death.
