From news headlines this morning:

>>
A toddler was shot and killed when her father used her as a shield in a gunbattle with police following an hours-long standoff, officials said. The man also died and an officer was wounded.
<<

What do we learn from this?

That toddlers do not make good shields in gun fights, that's what. Be sure to keep this in mind during your next standoff.

    Hate to say it, but if the toddlers FATHER was the one in the standoff - apple, fall, tree, that whole thing?

    Sad yes, but the Gene pool just got a *little* bit better.

    Guess we'll have to wait until "Law & Order" makes an episode out of this to find out....
