French Soldier Fires Live Ammo into a Crowd … Um, why was he even pointing at the Crowd?

In a bewildering incident in Carcassonne, France today 17 people were wounded when a soldier mistakenly opened fire with live ammunition during a display at an army base. The 28-year-old sergeant fired his assault rifle into a crowd of hundreds of visitors watching a mock hostage rescue operation yesterday at the base near the south-western city of Carcassonne.

A three-year-old boy, who took bullets in the heart and in the arm, and both his parents were among the victims who were rushed to hospitals in the region, officials said.

WTF was the soldier doing pointing a gun at a crowd – live ammunition or not.

French president Nicolas Sarkozy was understanably horrified: “This cannot go without consequences,” he said, adding the “entire chain of command” would have to provide answers”

See, guns don’t kill people. Live ammunition in guns kills people.
