“Shotgun Blast to the Head” sounds like a pretty good name for a hard-rocking rock band.

Shawn Davis, 18, of Duquesne, died of a shotgun blast...

Sigh, another "child" shot to death. Another sad statistic to add to the call for more "gun control"./s

Danged Norwegians.

[Little Ray]

Shouldn’t it say “Perp killed” or “Thug killed”?

[samm1148]

It’s in PA. That means the guns of law abiding people a hundred miles away in another county will have to be seized.

[Bon mots]

Is it a ‘hate crime’ if the person who shot these African-Americans in defense of their property and home was not also an African-American?

He was shot at 3:15 a.m. and pronounced dead at the scene 10 minutes later.

Ten minutes. A lot faster than they would have responded to a burglary in progress. Still, ten minutes when seconds count.

[Mr. Lucky]

Jeez, the homeowner hot him with a head shot; how much more gun control could you want?

[savedbygrace]

“Who’s gonna clean up this mess?”

[Gritty]

I love a happy ending.

It would have been even happier if he had shot both of them.

[Travis McGee]

“died of a shotgun blast to the head”

That’ll do it.

I'd prefer "Heroic Citizen Safe After Victorious Struggle with Scumbag Criminal, Vows More Range Time So No Others Get Away."

[TexasRedeye]

Geeez, did you miss the "/s" at the end? Besides, gun control to me means "use both hands". Obviously, the shooter did just that!

And we must always watch those Norwegians closely.

[NativeSon]

ugh, that’ll leave a mark!

Danged Norwegians

Indeed. My neighborhood has a Norwegian blight as well.
