Win stupid prizes. Wife: Canton police killed man as he fired into air to ring in 2022
Here's a hint. If you don't want to get shot, don't be shooting a gun in the air.
Marquetta Williams told The Repository newspaper of Canton that her 46-year-old husband, James, had used an AR-15 rifle that belonged to her to fire some celebratory shots early Saturday outside their Canton home. She said the gunfire is an annual tradition in their residential neighborhood in the city, with many neighbors also firing shots in the area filled with older homes that are fairly close together.
James Williams came back in the house but soon decided to go back outside and shoot some more. His wife said he fired four shots into the air and turned to follow her inside, but then told her, “I’ve been shot.”
Cops showed up as he was shooting and killed him.
Now, I think the cop was a little trigger-happy, but this guy should NOT have been shooting an AR-15 into the air. End of story.
You want to celebrate the New Year? Drink some Champaign. Scream "Happy New Year" at the top of your lungs. Leave the gun alone.
