Cop shoots 5 year old boy
By AP:
NOBLE, Okla. -- A five-year-old boy was shot and killed by a stray bullet fired by a police officer attempting to kill a snake, Noble city manager Bob Wade said.
Wade said police received a complaint Friday night from residents in a subdivision about a snake.
When officers responded, they decided to shoot the snake.
"A few minutes later there was a commotion in a highly wooded area behind them," Wade said. "Apparently the boy was hit by a stray bullet."
The boy apparently was fishing in a pond behind the house.
The boy, later identified as Austin Haley, was transported to an Oklahoma City hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A cop saves a woman... omg another great cop!!
Thought since we have police making mistakes prehaps we should have a post about the good ones which are often forgotten ..
But in all honesty that sucks, but mistakes happen and this guy will probably no longer be a cop.

^^ that could've been anyone, he was off-duty that'd be the same as saying an accountant saved a woman's life...
yeah mistakes do happen - but why don't you try telling that to the mom who just lost her 5 yr old son...
