Walking down the middle of the street near his parents' home in Oakdale, a man randomly fired a handgun at passing motorists -- killing a 9-year-old boy and injuring the boy's mother and another woman, police and witnesses said.

A 34-year-old man, arrested without incident, shot at least four cars in a residential area shortly after 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 11. The man has not been identified by police.

In a Tuesday morning release, Oakdale authorities said there was, "no active threat to public safety at this time."

One woman, who was taking groceries home from a nearby Rainbow Foods, turned the corner from Hadley Avenue North onto Seventh Street North, to see the man firing on an SUV or minivan that was driving toward her.

I suspect had the killer been a drunk in a car, none of the anti-gun nutters would be posting with glee as they are now on the newspaper's website and nobody would be trying to pass more DUI laws to prove they're tough on crime.

I truly believe that there is an organized conspiracy against gun owners.

Minnesota is one of 15 states that do not have the death penalty.
