Bucks Man To Stand Trail In Samurai-Sword Murder

I dunno, regardless of the guys history I tend to think that if he had intended to kill his father with a sword thrust to the back that it would have penetrated much deeper. Sounds like maybe he screwed up the judgement on distance and skewered dear old dad. I guess all I can really say is "What the hell were they thinking?"

If this is the same incident I am thinking of, the Officer was a female armed with a 14 shot 9mm. I do believe most of her rounds missed the attacker!

In amongst all the gun facts it is only Arnisador who seems to get the fact that a sword was used.
Ok so the LEO was a lousey shot and friendly fire strikes again we must not loose sight of the sword issue as the authorities will not and too many of these will lead to them taking an unhealthy interest in swords.

14 shots? Whats the standard side arm in NYC, and standard load? In any event, isn't 14 rounds excessive? Expecially when you shoot your own people?

15 + 1 in the chamber if its the Glock they carry.... :asian:
