Three weirdies for you

English astrophysicist Matthew Willson proved unable to predict the
physics affecting another part of the planet, his girlfriend Katherine
Shepard's flat in Atlanta, Georgia.  While he was lying in bed there,
a stray bullet from a nearby building passed through a patch of woods
and an exterior wall, hitting the 31-year-old Willson in the head.  He
later died in hospital. 
  While gunfire had been heard from the neighbouring block of flats
2-3 times in the preceding months, this time it wasn't 'just a few
shots', according to Shepard's flat-mate; it 'kept going on for 20 or
30 minutes, until one of the stray bullets hit Matthew'.
  Appealing for information, police sergeant Jake Kissel said: 'Even
though we believe that it was a random act [...], we're still
approaching it as a homicide.' 

     Matthew Willson = two thin walls -> me


Three men in West Lakeland, Florida, were watching a televised
basketball game when they 'heard a pop' and saw the three-year-old boy
in their care dash for his bedroom after having shot his sister, age
2, in the chest.  Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd reported that, while
the men then were speeding to hospital with the siblings, they T-boned
a vehicle that turned into their path, 'and there were significant
injuries from that as well'.  Another motorist completed the hospital
run, and the girl has undergone likely the first of several surgeries. 
  In response to 23-year-old gun-owner Kevonte' Wilson's comment that
he'd hidden the firearm to keep it away from the children, Judd said:
'I don't know how you think you safely keep a gun away from
children when you stick it between the couch' and that the adults will
be held appropriately criminally liable in relation to the handgun
issue and the drugs found in the home.

     Kevonte' Wilson = Violent news, OK? 


Also in the US South, a worker at the Georgia Vocational
Rehabilitation Agency noticed colleague Robin Folsom's seven-month
baby bump come away from her body and reported her, so the Inspector
General's office began an investigation.  After the supposed birth,
Folsom, 43, had the supposed father e-mail her bosses a claim that she
needed several weeks of bed rest.  An IG press release states that she
also sent photos to her co-workers of the claimed newborn, which 
'depicted children with varying skin tones'. 
  Investigation of the previous birth for which she'd received paid
maternity leave revealed no records of a child or related medical
procedures that time either.  Folsom has been charged on three counts
of making false statements and one count of identity fraud.

     Robin Folsom = Lo! Moron fibs!
