Mass. Man Killed, Cop Injured In NH Traffic Stop
SWANZEY, N.H. (AP) ― New Hampshire authorities say a Massachusetts man died of a single gunshot wound to the back of his left shoulder following a confrontation with a police officer.

Yeah, cops get a little pissed off when you try to kill them:
The attorney general's office says Swanzey Cpl. Robert Eccelston was responding to a call about an erratic driver Saturday night when he encountered 24-year-old Jeffrey Richardson of Northfield, Mass., in a parking lot.

Richardson then drove off, dragging the officer with his car.

Excuse me if I don't show a lot of remorse for the demise of Mr. Richardson. My father knew George Hanna, saw the devastation his death left on his widow and his children. People who ambush cops at traffic stops deserve every bit of malice due them, in treble.

Thankfully Cpl. Eccelston was able to end the confrontation satisfactorily - scratch one scumbag.

That is all.

But how can someone die simply by getting shot in the shoulder? That's not the way it works on the tee vee or the talkies.

A wincing grimace, maybe a manly clutch and staunch, but a ride on the flatline to slabtown?

Nahhhhhh.

You guys keep sending them up here and we'll take care of them. Just ask "Stix" Addison on death row, Leeland Eisenberg, Hillary's campaign office wannabe martyr, or the cross dressing Judge.

Of course the collateral is that NH truckers will occasionally dump a gas tanker on Mass' major traffic arteries, but that seems like a fair trade :)

I suspect that shoulder shot went through the shoulder and proceeded to disrupt the proper functions of several internal organs, heh.
