Keith, let's go thru this in words of few letters so it's easy to get. A bad chap starts shooting with a gun. Let's say some good chaps have guns too so they start shooting. Then some other good guys come in cos they heard the shooting and see some chaps shooting. So they start shooting too, maybe at the good guys cos they don't know who is who. Then the good chaps start shooting back. No one's aim is very good so most of the folks they shoot had zip to do with the whole thing apart from being there. Sorry for using words of more than four letters.

This is one reason why Village Aunties are a bad idea.
