There have been a lot of crime headlines in Atlanta lately. I doubt I would find myself out and about down there at night. Just not worth it.

You couldn't have said it better. A lot of crime headlines...not necessarily a lot of crime.

Slain bartender's father: Suspect didn't fire fatal shot | ajc.com



I found this snippet from the AJC article very interesting.


"The guns used in the Henderson killing were a 9mm Smith & Wesson stolen from a construction worker’s vehicle in Atlanta in October and a 9mm Glock owned by Ashley Elder, another bartender at Standard the night of the killing. Police are still looking for Elder’s gun.
Police say Henderson, 27, was shot once in the head and twice in the leg. They did not disclose which gun fired the fatal shot."


This seems to imply the other bartender was armed and that the gun was taken and perhaps even used to commit the murder. I’m relatively ambivalent on matters of gun control but I do think that adds an interesting dimension to the "get guns and kill the bastards" line of discussion that arose from this crime.
