Easter Sunday Riddled with Gun Shots

WIBW.com reported on the several gun incidents in Topeka, Kansas during Easter Sunday.

Topeka, KAN. (WIBW)--Topeka police are investigating a drive-by shooting that occurred in the Highland Park area Sunday night.

They responded around 8:40 after multiple calls from neighbors claiming they heard gun shots in the area. Once on scene, were told police found a lot of bullet holes in a town home in the 2300 block of S.E. Bellview.

Crime scene investigators were on scene searching for clues as there appears to be no victims from the incident.

Gunfire was also reported in the Chesney Park area around 8:20 Sunday night. Officers found a few shell casings at the intersection of S.W. 19th and Clay. A fight reportedly occurred there a short time earlier that resulted in a man suffering head injuries.

Police also responded to 21st and California where more gunshots were heard. Police said no injuries occurred.

I think one would have to live in Europe to realize what a particularly American headline that is. Where else in the modern world can you see such a thing? Gun owners and gun rights supporters should be proud of themselves for making the United States the laughing stock of the 1st World.

What's your opinion? No, wait, I know. These are criminals acting out with guns and they have nothing to do with legitimate gun owners and gun rights supporters. Isn't that the story?

    Until the 1st World pays taxes in the United States, I couldn't care less about being their laughing stock.

    Actually, as a legitimate gun owner and gun rights supporter I favor HARSHER penalties for criminal gun misuse than the average person.

  3. We suck because they never have acts of violence on religious holidays in other parts of the world.
