Suspect Held in Fatal Bus Stop Shooting

The Associated Press

A man holding his 2-year-old son was shot to death and the child was seriously wounded near a crowded school bus stop Tuesday when a man grabbed a shotgun out of his car and started firing, investigators said.

Another man, who had taken his son to get on a bus, was wounded in the leg.

Louis Schenck III was arrested shortly after the shootings were reported at about 7:15 a.m., said Lt. Mike Sanders, spokesman for the sheriff in St. Bernard Parish, just east of New Orleans.

Killed was Danny Foto, 39. His son, Bryson, was taken to Charity Hospital in New Orleans. The boy's condition was not immediately available.

Schenck, 46, faces charges of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder in the shootings, which authorities said took place in front of Schenck's parents' house in the New Orleans suburb of Meraux.

1. A splendid illustration of the RKBA...

"Sanders said Schenck had no previous record of violence; relatives told investigators he had been diagnosed eight years ago as a paranoid schizophrenic."
Isn't it grand to live in a country where some people pretend an armed lunatic is just ducky?

2. Yes, it is grand to live here in the US

where people are allowed to defend themselves from people like this!

3. We wouldn't have to "defend ourselves"

if there was an effort to keep guns out of the hands of lunatics...but the corrupt gun industry is making every effort they can to arm them.

4. If People Like This Were Prevented From Getting Guns ...

... there would be nothing to defend against.

5. But Good Koresh, man...

think of the impact on gun industry profits if lunatics and criminals aren't allowed to buy guns!
