Some twit shot his gun into the air. I’ll never understand why people do that; if nothing else it’s a waste of ammunition. Granted, it was a .22 which is nowhere near the cost of the 9mm ammo I need for my guns, but still! If you’re going to shoot a gun, let it be at a target for practice, or to kill something. Anything else is wasteful. Here’s what happened at a charity event:
Noted New Orleans chef Paul Prudhomme was setting up his cooking tent on the practice range at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans golf tournament Tuesday about 9:30 a.m. when he felt a sting in his right arm, right above his elbow.
Prudhomme shook his clothing, and a .22 caliber bullet fell from his shirt to the ground, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Col. John Fortunato, Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said deputies believe the chef was struck by a falling bullet, probably shot from somewhere within a 1 1/2-mile radius of the golf course.
The bullet cut the skin on Prudhomme’s arm and left a hole in his white chef’s coat, witnesses said. But the chef was undeterred and kept cooking until he left the course about 3:30 p.m.
