Alabama -- Atlanta, What's the Difference?
1999-08-05 13:10:22
Nope, this is a different shooting. This time it's in Alabama, not Atlanta, and we have a former employee, not a former client, and three victims, not 12. The shootings took place at 7:00 a.m. this morning and police caught their suspect almost immediatly.
The suspect's name has not been released, nor has anyone started to speculate wildly as to what set him off -- but I'm sure fingers will begin pointing in earnest once the story hits evening news time on the East Coast. Stay tuned for another exciting episode of "What Can We Blame This One On?"
Also interesting to note: the AP story includes how many miles Pelham, Alabama is from Atlanta (145 in case that's important, which it isn't, but that's never stopped anyone).
