Man opens fire, gets shot by police outside Ice Cube concert in San Diego: Authorities
Source: ABC News
A disgruntled concertgoer was shot by police outside a concert by Ice Cube at Del Mar racetrack in San Diego on Sunday night.
The San Diego Sheriff's Homicide Unit said a man approached the ticket window at about 6:40 p.m. seeking entry to the show, but was told it was sold out. After getting into an argument, sheriff's deputies responded and confronted the man.
The man pulled out "a silver-plated semi-automatic handgun" and fired into a crowd outside the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the San Diego Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies returned fire, according to the sheriff's office, and the man was struck.

(890 posts)If I fire randomly and kill someone with a ticket, I can just use the shot person's ticket, as they will be going to the hospital rather than the concert. If so, I think I see a flaw in his reasoning.

It's because he was "disgruntled."

Disgruntled man fires shots into crowd seeking entry to a concert. Leave out the location and performer, it could have happened in either country.

The actual (reputed) quote was about a pearl-handled revolver, because his were ivory-handled. As if that's an improvement.
