The article WildBill linked to wrote:In what may come as a big surprise to some of you, police have confirmed that alcohol was involved and possibly drugs.
I was totally surprised.
I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.

I knew that alcohol and guns don't mix, but never thought about tobacco and gasoline. :shock:

It actually occurred back on February 29th. Wasn't an April Fools joke, but was a Leap Year event.
