Town’s Water Supply Drains From Bullet Holes

Water Tower Shot With High-Powered Rifle

MAIDEN, N.C. -- In the midst of an extreme drought, a North Carolina town has lost hundreds of thousands of gallons of water that leaked from bullet holes discovered in the town’s water tower.

The town of Maiden, just south of Hickory, N.C., relies on a water tower that holds 750,000 gallons of water.

Catawba County Sheriff’s Deputy Major Coy Reid said that the tower appears to have been shot three times with a high-powered rifle. Investigators think the shooting happened sometime Monday morning.

Residents told investigators that they had heard the gunshots, but because no one called deputies, the damage was not discovered until hours later. (More ..)

5. I think this is an excellent case to support rights for Gun Owners...

Just shoot some holes in "them towers" and that'll show 'em. "POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

7. That's just sick.

Man, you've got to be a special kind of asshole to do something so utterly brainless and reprehensible.
