Father, son celebrated Hawks win by firing rounds: police

June 12, 2010

SUN-TIMES STAFF

A Naperville man and his son caught the unexpected attention of police as the men allegedly celebrated the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup victory by firing rounds from an assault rifle into the ground behind their home.

Mark W. Steinbrecher, 54, and his son Mark S. Steinbrecher, 20, were wearing shirts embossed with Blackhawks and Stanley Cup insignia when their booking photographs were taken at the Naperville police station. Both men face Class 4 felony charges of reckless discharge of a firearm. snip

No one was injured, and no property was damaged during the shooting, Hoffman said. He said both men "had been drinking while celebrating the Blackhawks' win.''

1. Alcohol and an assault rifle

2. guns aren't stupid...

but some gun owners are, and reckless too. Dear....what are the neighbors doing out in the backyard????

Just think if people could get so excited about something that actually means something.

3. In Chicago people shoot off guns on new years eve on the west side every year

Yes, it's illegal, but it's not news. The media sucks. I think they were expecting more of this kind of behavior and they found one case. They probably were hoping for riots and craziness in our city that did not happen. Stupid.

BTW I don't know why anyone needs an assault rifle and it is scary to hear about drunk people and their assault rifles.

4. As long as they aren't shooting their bibles, its OK.
