Boy, 4, killed as he sat in church by bullet fired TWO miles away

It's solved... Aparently a ninja was doing some space shuttle door gunning, while looking for his targets he failed to understand what was behind his target-church... thus the round was fired towards earth, from orbit with a specially designed nose to increase speed and penetration after terminal velocity was reached... When contacted for comment, the ninja blamed the miss on global warming.

In all seriousness, this is a sad story. I feel sad for the loss of life but also joyous that he had a life to live. I feel that when it's your time to go, you go. Whether it be 4 years old or 400 years old. What I can't reconcile is the practice of abortion and how that plays into my religous beliefs about terminating life, etc... No need to start talking about that... just my stream of consiciouness.

Never fire a weapon into the air, no need.

If you do a quick google you will find very little local info on this story. I work in Atlanta and never heard a thing about it except for this post.


after some googling here is more:

these guys say the bullet was fired 3 miles away[Bang]

Most other links are all UK oriented, some Australian.


And if you look at a link of a picture of the inside of the church...it seems there is some pretty damn good material for a roof considering the steel re-enforcement beams going across. it would damn dear take a direct shot straight from the roof down to penetrate IMO.

maybe the bullet came in through a window or open door, but i highly question the roof if the 2 mile story sticks.

Oh, here are the bullets they recovered.

going off what information is out there now I wouldn't doubt it.

Well yeah,, after 3 miles, I could see a stubby 123gr bullet morphing into a 155mm shell capable of doing the damage..

You know, gravitational pull and such...

I'd like to see a photo of the hole in the roof, myself....

Here you go Marlin.

Looks more like the Mother of all sink holes....

What you've said actually comes right down to a cultural difference completely. There is no Constitution or Bill of Rights in the UK, so they don't understand that we have the RIGHT to own guns. They just think it's something we choose to do because we can.

But I have no wish to argue with you. Eventually the residual part of me that feels the need to stick up for even the most ignorant Brits will wither and die :D

Bottom line, the reason I posted that story is because it DOES NOT make sense. Again RIP to the boy and prayers for the family...

Nevertheless, how the story concluded the AK47 (ok maybe it means 7.62) from 3 miles away through the church roof etc. Local and national news do not pick this up btw.. it's mostly released by foreign journals.
