Guns don't - kill people snakes do...

...but they often require the assistance of cops with guns.

The Noble OK woman who had called the police in the first place because she had snake in her birdhouse was quoted as saying "this was just a freak and tragic accident...and I just feel really bad for everyone involved". Well I'm sorry madam, I am sure that you deservedly feel awful but to call this an "accident" oversteps the mark. Even if police officers don't have the good sense not to fire weapons in a suburban neighbourhood simply to deal with a snake this still cannot be considered an accident. The fact that the dead victim is a five year old child who was fishing with his grandfather just makes the whole thing even more horrific.

There was a crime committed here and someone needs to be punished!
