Keystone, er, Kamsas City Cops?

[bluedigger]

Two Kansas City police officers who thought they were being shot at from inside a van returned fire Thursday night.

Only later did police realize that the van was actually backfiring and the man inside was not armed. He was not injured by the shots fired by police.

Windows of the police car were apparently shot out by the officers as they exited the patrol car.

1. I don't know...

I was across the street once and a car backfired twice.

I panicked, ran behind a dumpster.

2. I've flinched myself, once or twice...

But we weren't armed and trained police officers, with our partners...

Well, I wasn't...:rofl:

3. My ex could always tell if it was gunfire or a backfire right away

I don't know how, but he did!
