Wild Teenagers with Guns in Upstate New York

A white teenager has pleaded guilty to attempted murder for shooting a black classmate inside the entrance to the Cooperstown Police Department last year.

An Otsego County Court spokeswoman says 17-year-old Anthony Pacherille Jr. pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree attempted murder and could be sent to prison for up to 11 years when he's sentenced July 22. He had been facing the same charge as a hate crime, but that provision was dropped as part of a plea deal.

In April 2010, Pacherille chased Wesley Lippitt from a park near the National Baseball Hall of Fame to the foyer of the nearby police station and shot the other teen in the arm with a .22-caliber rifle. Pacherille then shot himself in the chin.
Now, wait a minute, he shot the black kid in the ARM and then what, tried to kill himself and missed too? What kind of gun training did he receive from his parents anyway? I mean, that's some pretty wild shootin', don't you think?

Please leave a comment.

    Probably none.
