Post Offbeat news, Gas War Turns Deadly in Detroit.

A simmering feud over prices between neighboring gas station owners in Detroit turned fatal this morning as one man shot and killed the other during a confrontation outside one of the stations, police said.

Police originally responded to a call about an assault in progress with a bat and a pipe outside a local Marathon gas station, Sgt. Eren Stephens Bell, a spokeswoman for the Detroit police, told ABC News.

When officers arrived on the scene, they found that one station owner had been shot. He was transported to a local hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival, Bell said.

Why in God's name are there so many MORONS in this country? Years ago people used to settle their disputes with fist fights. Now if you look at someone the wrong way you get a bullet through your eye. People are sick.
