Scary moment

If you read the above story, I was about 6 feet away from the people that were hit by the gunfire. Didn't even realize it was gunfire at the time. This bar patio sits about five feet below the parking lot above it with a wood fence separating the lot from the patio. Somebody threw a string of firecrackers over the fence, then began firing through the fence. At the time I thought it was only firecrackers and that the people that fell over were just reacting to firecrackers going off behind their heads and hitting the ground instinctively. The bar was quickly closed afterward as police and EMTs rolled in. I thought it was just an over reaction to the fireworks as I left. Turns out, three people were shot (none of them life threatening). These people were roughly six feet in front of me, and I'd estimate the fence that was shot through at 12-15 feet in front of me. I went to watch the Angel game there today (in a KC TV market), and that's when the bartender showed me the bullet holes in the fence from that night, then showed me the news story. Six holes through the fence, likely .22 or .25 going by size.

BTW. Not a random shooting. A dumb one? Yes. But definitely a hit gone wrong.

[Hollyw00d]

Damn.  Glad you're alright.

 

By chance, were you at a Dodgers bar?

[Jason]

Good to see no one was seriously hurt. Crazy you were that close. Also why is this in the political thread?

[TobiasFunke]

Take guns away from everyone!

There, now it belongs here AngelsNSkins

Glad you're ok Don

I think the one question that is needing to be answered is why the hell are you in Omaha, Nebraska in the first place?

My thought as well. Glad you're ok Don. Your mustache protected you

[Lhalo]

Did you still have to pay your tab or were drinks on the house?

That would take far too long to explain.

I just assumed it would devolve into a gun debate.

[Blarg]

No, it has become a debate as to what is the mysterious life of Don Tomlinson that hit men go to Omaha to rub him out but he somehow escapes with his life.

[Tank]

so what were you drinking? 

 

 

glad you're okay and that stick boy isn't a very good shot.
