Asshole paintballers shoot wrong people......get lead back in return....
Ha ha haaaaaaaaa hahahaaaaaaa!!!!

"Two teens who drove around Pittsburgh shooting passers-by with paintball guns were shot with real bullets for apparently targeting the wrong group, police said...

During their drive, the teens pelted children at a playground and shot at another group down the street, Dacey said.

When the teens turned around to tell the group on the street they were only shooting paintballs, someone returned fire with a gun, peppering the driver's side of the car with more than a dozen bullets"

Full story:

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/news/08132003_nw_paintball.html

Much though I'd like to use this story as another one showing how dangerous guns are, I'd rather just say how amused I am that these people got what they deserved.

It must be terrifying and painful to be shot with paintballs, and this sort of crime isn't a game.

IMHO of course.

1. Priceless :)
"Smedley was shot in the left arm, while the 17-year-old was hit in the buttocks. The teens then drove themselves to the hospital, Dacey said."

Priceless :)

2. um
what happened to the guys with the real guns?

Were they arrested?

Paintballs vs. Bullets isn't exactly tat-a-tat.

8. I hope that they were arrested too, but......
If you go out shooting random people with paintballs then I'm not going to cry if you get shot in the ass.

If they'd have been killed it would have been a tragedy, but a tragedy of their own making.
