Ga. Town Stunned After Woman Killed at Gas Station [View all]

By JEFF MARTIN Associated Press
ATLANTA December 5, 2012 (AP)

... 65-year-old Linda Hunnicutt died after she was shot once in the chest Tuesday by the motorized wheelchair's operator, 73-year-old Frank Louis Reeves.

Reeves was apprehended in the gas station parking lot and is being held on a murder charge ... Police didn't know whether he has an attorney.

Police said Hunnicutt had driven onto the gas pump bay shortly after 1 p.m. Tuesday when her Buick Lucerne made contact with the motorized wheelchair. Authorities say the woman stepped out of her car, and the suspect pulled a 38-caliber handgun and shot her in the chest.

A shootout at a gas station. lalalu Dec 2012 #6

Likely very little, with the actual station infrastructure. PavePusher Dec 2012 #14

So why don't you go lalalu Dec 2012 #17

Sort of like the NBC "exploding pick-up truck" gas tanks... PavePusher Dec 2012 #18

You can do this the next time you get gas. lalalu Dec 2012 #22

Please don't advocate criminal actions on DU, kthxby. n/t PavePusher Dec 2012 #33

Wouldn't have to. Glassunion Dec 2012 #20

Only an idiot thinks there is no danger from firing lalalu Dec 2012 #23

I did not state that. Glassunion Dec 2012 #25

So it does cause safety hazards and a combustible situation? lalalu Dec 2012 #30

I never stated it didn't. Glassunion Dec 2012 #36

Yeah, I'm sure sylvi Dec 2012 #39

So now you assume to know what i was thinking. lalalu Dec 2012 #43

I think it's pretty clear. sylvi Dec 2012 #49

The only thing clear is that you can't think clearly lalalu Dec 2012 #60

Do you also believe that firing a gun through the fuselage of an aircraft will cause it to crash? PavePusher Dec 2012 #21

Have you tried it yet? lalalu Dec 2012 #24

Mythbusters Also did that experiment dballance Dec 2012 #26

Just cause it to depressurize? LMAO lalalu Dec 2012 #29

He didn't say it wasn't a problem sylvi Dec 2012 #40

I've been in military aircraft maintenance for 22+ years. PavePusher Dec 2012 #34

Correct me if I'm wrong Glassunion Dec 2012 #37

Depending on the size of the aircraft, the size of the hole and the excess capacity... PavePusher Dec 2012 #38

Sure, that's why we never repair holes in aircraft. lalalu Dec 2012 #44

No one here said it was safe to do so. GreenStormCloud Dec 2012 #45

The irony is that I never said such a thing either. lalalu Dec 2012 #46

The problems/danger would be about the same as a shootout in a parking lot. GreenStormCloud Dec 2012 #50

Not true at all but tell yourself that to feel better lalalu Dec 2012 #58

Not at all what I said. PavePusher Dec 2012 #47

If any of those people are engineers you might think about asking them about this question. pop topcan Dec 2012 #55

I have engineers and mathematicians in my family. lalalu Dec 2012 #59

Especially since military ground vehicles use diesel Recursion Dec 2012 #51

Well, technically, jet fuel is also diesel. Close enough for government work anyway.... 8>) n/t PavePusher Dec 2012 #53

Huh, I'd never thought of it that way, but that makes sense Recursion Dec 2012 #54

you would mostly hit the electronics in the pump gejohnston Dec 2012 #28

Yeah, so in your world that doesn't present a probem? lalalu Dec 2012 #31

So this was a roll by? lalalu Dec 2012 #5

wonder if the guy in the wheel chair will use 'Stand your ground' defense? sasha031 Dec 2012 #8

He has to show self-defense first. GreenStormCloud Dec 2012 #15

If he can prove self defense, it changes what is legally required of him Recursion Dec 2012 #52

I love the way folks jump to conclusions ManiacJoe Dec 2012 #9
