Nothing new!!!Why do cops and thugs have firearms? It goes to say that the honest citizens are the ones to have their weapons confiscated. Maybe someday CCWs will be ok'd for the good guys

Is there an "English Proficiency" requirement for the Star's proofreaders?
Or, did they mean to imply that PHPD heard additional gunfire and THAT led them to the previously shot-up minivan?
If the latter, then they left out a comma, in the headline, and didn't mention this fact in the story.
