This is why we can't have nice things....

....in DC of all places:
WASHINGTON (WJLA) - A man in a Santa Claus suit was shot in the back with a pellet gun Tuesday morning at a toy giveaway in Southeast.

According to an ABC7 photographer who was interviewing the victim at the time of the shooting, the man in the Santa suit was struck in his upper back. He was transported to a nearby hospital with the pellet still lodged in his shoulder.

I am glad that it was "only a pellet gun" and that "Santa" wasn't critically injured.

I also hope they catch the guy and prosecute him.
