“.. the bagpipes player — was not involved in the incident and was later released, saying he was “in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Never play the bagpiopes on a school roof when there is an a shooter around.

[skeeter]

Very quietly.

[Impala64ssa]

Peiper was the shooter. He was not the piper. The piper was not the shooter. Got it?
But, who's on first?!??

[left that other site]

Piper Ping

[Politicalkiddo]

But why was the dude playing bagpipes on the roof? :P

[left that other site]

3 caliber...Anti Aircraft Gun perhaps?

[thackney]

bagpipes and guns ping.

[IrishBrigade]

Makes sense, but is it the flagon with the dragon, or is it the chalice from the palace?

Neither...it’s the vessel with the pestle...

Peiper was on the roof, but I don’t think the piper was on the roof.

[Grams A]

I suspect the writer was just an idiot tho.”

Well, at the very least, sentence construction was obviously not his strong suit. Had to read this sentence twice to figure out what he thought he was trying to say.

“Police say Peiper was in possession of a three-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun used in the incident which was later reported stolen to the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Department.”

First thought that maybe the gun had been stolen from the FBC Sheriff’s office.

[humblegunner]

A time and place for everything..

And this wasn’t either.

[nuconvert]

I’d say Christine Dobbyn needs some remedial writing classes.

[smokingfrog]

triple threat!

[Impala64ssa]

Maybe there were doing a tribute to the late Roddy Piper?

S&W Governor could be called a 3 caliber revolver, I guess.

But this is mostly some sort of editing silliness.

[smokingfrog]

Maybe a Model 3 Smith & Wesson?

... or more likely just bad reporting

[Paine in the Neck]

If only the piper’s name was Schuter...

Unfortunately they broke the chalice from the palace, and replaced it with a flagon with a dragon. Remember, the poison is in the flagon with a dragon and the vessel with the pestle is the brew that is true!

[Mastador1]

Makes sense, but is it the flagon with the dragon, or is it the chalice from the palace?

What I want to know is who broke the Vessel With a Pestle?
