Did not know that. That sounds more like a stupid, dangerous, drunken prank than a hate-filled psychotic killing spree like the UT tower or Columbine.

A kid in our neighborhood shot down a TV news helicopter and the crash killed the pilot.

It was right before I moved there, so I missed it all - but he finally was let back in school my first year here and was somewhat shunned by most of us. *Delinquent.*

Of course, that was much later - well, no it wasn't - 1966.

Well, yeah it was, but that was a pretty "upper,middle class" area at the time. Also some of the Beach Boy family went there. One was a guy whose last name was Love (went on to play with the Laker's basketball team). Most of us that were surfer's at the time really disliked the image they were giving us.
