You mean like 88 year old Kathryn Johnson that was shot and killed by police when she fired a shot into the ceiling because she thought someone (in this case the police) were breaking into her house?

This case was another "no knock needed warrant." Oh and btw read the article below on Kathryn. The police fired 39 shots at an 88 year old woman vs. her one shot into the ceiling, and the officers that were injured were injured by their own gunfire. If I was that scared of a potential perp and that reckless with my gunfire I think it's time to find another line of work. I sure am glad I didn't serve with guys like that in the military. \:o

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
