LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A Louisville man has been charged with attempted murder after police said he shot a 12-year-old boy in the back.

The shooting happened just before 10 p.m. Monday in the 7700 block of Kendrick Crossing Lane while the boy was playing a game with friends.

Police said the game was ding-dong ditch, where kids run up to a door, ring the doorbell or knock, and run away.

Police said 56-year-old Michael Bishop was arrested around 4 a.m. Tuesday and charged with attempted murder.

According to police, a 12-year-old boy and four or five of his friends were going door-to-door, ringing door bells, including Bishop's, Monday night.

Police said Bishop came out on his porch and shot at the kids, hitting the 12-year-old.

The boy was taken to Kosair Children's Hospital with what police call non-life-threatening injuries.

"The world has changed quite a bit, obviously, when you have people in the world who don't look at things as child's play," said Metro Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell. "Obviously, the best thing to do is stay away from places you don't know or people you're not familiar with."

More charges are possible against Bishop, police said.
 
good thing the old crank has his gun loaded and ready by the door otherwise he'd have never got a shot off in the kids back

Gunlover vs. kid





Louisville police say a game being played by a group of kids led to a shooting that hurt a 12-year-old.




The incident happened at about 10 p.m. Monday in the Glenmary neighborhood.




Witnesses say the kids were ringing the doorbells of neighbors, then running away.




When one man became upset by the prank, he allegedly fired at the group, hitting the 12-year-old in the shoulder.

Another brave gunlover in action:






Authorities are looking for a 60-year-old man suspected of shooting a woman and her 13-year-old daughter at a Crescent City trailer park.


The Del Norte County Sheriff's Office said on Tuesday that the victims, whose names have not been released, are in critical condition and that the girl's injuries are life threatening.




Officials told the Crescent City Daily Triplicate they are on the look-out for Jerry Wayne Steele of Los Gatos, who was under a restraining order to stay away from the child.




Sheriff's Cmdr. Tim Athey said there was evidence of a struggle, and that investigators believe the two were shot after Steele's attempted kidnapping of the girl at about 7 a.m.





Athey said Steele was charged previously with molesting the girl...

After he molested the kid and shot her and her mom, then he did what so many gunlovers do.

A Los Gatos man accused of molesting a girl in Santa Clara County earlier this year apparently tracked the teen and her mother down at their new home in Crescent City Tuesday morning, then shot both in the head after trying unsuccessfully to kidnap the pair.


Police said Jerry Wayne Steele, 60, shot himself in the head after a police officer spotted his car in a parking lot overlooking a beach.


Steele, who was sitting at a nearby picnic table, died later at a hospital.

:dunno: Is it?

Far more people drown in pools in their back yards per year than are shot to death in accidental shootings, yet less people own pools on a per capita basis...

Why are you not calling for them to be banned?

compare that with this story of almost the exact same issue.

http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20100420/ARTICLE/4201060

An autopsy on the body of Tyler Spann is complete and he will be buried today, but questions remain about the death of the 20-year-old who was shot and killed early Friday by an off-duty Sarasota County sheriff's deputy.

The inquiry into the shooting is divided into two parts: a criminal investigation of the shooting; and an administrative look at whether Verdoni followed procedures when he left his home in shorts, a T-shirt and sandals to track down the pranksters who banged on his door and ran off.

Sheriff's officials are investigating the shooting even though it happened within the Venice city limits. The Sheriff's Office says it handles all officer-involved shootings in the county, except for those in the city of Sarasota, through an agreement with the smaller police agencies.

Sheriff Tom Knight has said that he believes Verdoni's actions were justified and that the investigation will clear the nine-year veteran.

gee, who'd have thunk that a state costumed thug is completely justified in committing murder yet the mundane subject civilian will face attempted murder charges.

and of course, lets rush to judgement and condemn the civilian who dared break the law, but we can totally absorb this little gem of wisdom from the sheriff.

"I understand the questions but I hope people wait until they get the whole report to make a judgment," Knight said Monday.

The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with blood.



There were 52,447 deliberate and 23,237 accidental non-fatal gunshot injuries in the United States during 2000. The majority of gun-related deaths in the United States are suicides, with 17,352 (55.6%) of the total 31,224 firearm-related deaths in 2007 due to suicide, while 12,632 (40.5%) were homicide deaths...
