What Kind of World do we live in?
This ain't NYC, or LA, this is a few blocks from my house! I heard the sirens as I was getting ready for bed last night!
http://www.9news.com/news/article.as...1613&catid=339 AURORA - Police are looking for witnesses of a shooting that left a man in critical condition late Tuesday night. Advertisement Bob Friel, a spokesman with the Aurora Police Department, says it appears the victim was driving on Exposition Avenue near Expo Park around 9 p.m. when someone fired a gun at him. When police arrived, they found a man with a gunshot wound inside of his vehicle. The man was taken to the hospital and Friel says, as of Tuesday night, he was in critical condition. Police did not immediately have a description of the suspect. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Aurora Police's Major Crimes Unit at 303-739-6207.

Didn't some guy make a kill dozer and go on a rampage in Colorado a couple of years ago? I ain't ever heard of that happening in NYC or LA.
