A few nightclub bouncers in Ocala, Fla., had been laughing for days over an embarrassing video of one of their co-workers. Then, tired of the teasing, that co-worker apparently snapped, killing three of them, authorities told the Ocala Star Banner. The bouncer in the video, Andrew Joseph "Punchy" Lobban, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the incident.
Lobban, 31, recently had gone to a shooting range with one of his fellow bouncers who, according to authorities, recorded Lobban misfiring a gun, then shared the video of Lobban with other bouncers at a local nightclub, the Ocala Entertainment Complex.
Lobban "just kept harping on that" during questioning by police, Ocala Police Department spokeswoman Sgt. Angy Scroble told the Star Banner of the teasing about the video. "It really bothered him."

Sounds to me like "thin skin" is more likely the cause. The headline seems to indicate that the prankster brought this upon himself. I don't find his taunting worthy of the death penalty.

recorded Lobban misfiring a gun? Does the writer mean he had a misfire, where he pulled the trigger and just heard "click"? I'm not sure why anyone would tease over that or why anyone would care. Do the journalists mean something else?

I wondered that, too. But I know that few journalists, congressmen, senators, etc. know anything about guns, so I sorta gave them a pass.

“Punchy”? Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

According to witnesses, there was no confrontation until Lobban, who'd recently been mocked for his gun handling, put a bullet in the heads of Josue "Sway" Santiago, 25, Benjamin Larz Hoard, 23, and Jerry Lamar Bynes Jr., 20. Lobban reportedly told police that he'd only intended to shoot Santiago.
So, were the three victims all standing in a line and when he shot Santiago the bullet traveled through all three of the victim's heads?

Maybe he was not holding his piece in the prescribe 90 degree gansta angle and thus was mistaken for an actual marksman that knew something about handguns, something that hurt his street cred...
