A student at Newman Elementary School, fired the AR-15 that was mounted on a police motorcycle that was on display during an event for students called Red Ribbon Week, a drug and alcohol awareness event.
Why was the rifle loaded? Why was it not on safety? Why was it even on the "display bike".
Those are answers we'll have to wait for.
The gun was apparently locked on the bike and the bullet hit the steel plate locking device causing the shrapnel that injured the students.

That's right, it is rumoured that Eric Buell Racing might become part of the WSBK. He has a lot of hurdles to jump, but if he can do it, well, let's just say it seems people are rooting for him.
The manufacturers have a lot of news today...

There is one other story I would like to draw attention to, police have shot and killed a 13 year old boy who was playing with a fake assault rifle - a toy gun.
I can not imagine the grief that his parents must be going through. As I lift a prayer for him, his family and friends, I ask that you do too. I also pray for the police forces - they have a tough job, get criticized a lot, sometime rightly, other times not. I pray that something is learned and this you man's life is not in vain.
Funnies don't feel appropriate today.
