I lived in Erie, Pennsylvania sever years ago. They have, or had at that time, a New Years celebration that involved fireworks at midnight. Some idiot decided to join in by firing his handgun off into the air. The bullet hit a girl (15 years old, I think) in the top of her head and killed her. I was standing about 20 feet away, and knew nothing about it until I saw the news the next day. When he was finally located, the shooter expressed remorse, but didn't really see anything wrong with the initial act of firing a weapon into the air. Moron.
