Stupid Criminal Tricks - Don't Wave A Gun Around In The Air

The Detroit News: Police: Boy, 16, pulls gun, gets shot at fight

A 16-year-old boy was shot in his leg after allegedly pulling a gun at a fight Monday night on Detroit's east side, police said.

The shooting took place at 7:30 p.m. on the 12100 block of Wayburn, which is south of Moross and east of Kelly.

The victim had been involved in a fight and held a gun in the air, said Sgt. Nicole Kirkwood, a Detroit Police Department spokeswoman. But someone, possibly from across the street, fired a shot, striking the victim in his leg . . . .

Anyone want to place a bet that he acquired that gun legally? Anyone? Yeah, I didn't think so.

A quick tip: Don't get into fights, and if you're in a fight, don't brandish a gun around threateningly as some people may indeed become threatened and shoot you accordingly.
