Participant at KKK initiation wounded after shots fired into sky

JOHNSON CITY, Tennessee (AP) --A bullet fired in the air during a Ku Klux Klan initiation ceremony came down and struck a participant in the head, critically injuring him, authorities said.

Gregory Allen Freeman, 45, was charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment in the Saturday night incident that wounded Jeffery S. Murr, 24.

About 10 people, including two children, had gathered for the ceremony. The man who was being initiated was blindfolded, tied with a noose to a tree and shot with paintball guns as Freeman fired a pistol in the air to provide the sound of real gunfire, Sheriff Fred Phillips said.

A bullet struck Murr on the top of the head and exited at the bottom of his skull, authorities said.

Freeman fled the ceremony but was arrested near his home, authorities said. He was released on $7,500 bail.

Well, I am not sure if that is Darwinism or Murphy at work there.

Serves them "RIGHT" !

It would have been better if it hit the guy who brought his kids in the nuts, so he couldn't pass on any more deformed genes.

Anyone who exposes kids to the Klan's garbage ought to be forcibly sterilized--with a rusty can opener

You would think that these days, the new age, sensative Klan, wouldn't practice hazing. You would think that Sen. Robert Byrd would have taught them not to participate in this "good ol' boy" ritual. Don't they know that hazing can be dangerous and cause there members to have PTS. This definately will not help the KKK raise a new generation of well adjusted bigots.
