“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
Display indiscriminate politeness.
Police spokesman Scott Leamon said the person was taken into custody by heavily armed SWAT officers around 6:30 p.m., more than an hour and a half after someone began firing shots from the roof of the Starlite Motel in the 4400 block of Melrose Avenue Northwest.
And in more news of the polite . . . .
A South Carolina woman shot and accidentally killed a friend while testing out his bulletproof vest.
Sheriff’s deputies in Anderson County said the victim, 26-year-old Blake Wardell, had been hanging out in a garage with about eight to 10 friends early Wednesday when they decided to try out the Kevlar vest.
Investigators said 18-year-old Taylor Ann Kelly fired a shot at Wardell’s chest but missed the Kevlar.
Somewhat surprisingly, police found that everyone involved was sober. The results of the IQ tests, though, have not come in.
Afterthought:
So there really is a “Starlite Motel.” Who woulda thunk?
