There is a lot about this story that just doesn't make sense to me. Why did the kid have a shotgun on him? According to the story he was dropping off the 14 year old girl at her home after they were out all night and the dad wanted to give the guy a talking-to. So where did the gun come from? And where does this 'I'm in an argument, I think I'll end it buy shooting two people' attitude come from? I read this in another article: "Their parents didn't approve of them being together" because of the age difference, she said. "It wasn't because he was a shady character, because he wasn't." Wonder what her definition of 'shady' is? And I also wonder how surprised the girl was, and wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't in on it in some way.

Sigh.

And this story about Gene Simmons getting sued is amusing. Ward's papers say that because a photo of her with Simmons -- though her name is never mentioned -- was shown during remarks about his sexual adventures, she was in effect portrayed as "wild" and "unchaste."

Right. Because I'm sure she was hanging out with KISS for the stimulating conversations.
