True Tragedy Strikes In The St. Louis Suburbs [eddiebear]

Tonight, a guy stormed into the City Council meeting at City Hall in the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood, MO and started shooting. Sadly, at least six people (including the shooter) are dead.

Please keep the victims and their families in their prayers.

UPDATE [someone]: On a somewhat less horrible note, a guy almost went on a massive Super Bowl shooting spree because his trashy theme bar idea was nixed:

A few months ago, Tempe officials denied Havelock's application for a liquor license for a Halloween-themed bar called The Haunted Castle, city spokeswoman Shelley Hearn said.

Tempe officials never recommended the license to the state liquor board, Hearn said.

"There were some neighbors who came forward and said it wasn't the right business for their part of Tempe," she said. "They'd heard he wanted to call his place 'Drunkenstein's.'"

The FBI said in the complaint that Havelock had planned to attack Super Bowl fans at the stadium in what he called an "econopolitical confrontation."
