Strange sequence of events

A Utah man sees a mouse run across his kitchen floor. So he does what anyone would do in a similar situation. He pulls out a 9mm handgun and tries to shoot it. You guessed it. He missed. The bullet then went through a wall and struck his 28 year old roommate in the chest.

The story just gets weird from there. Police arrived on the scene and found a 13 year old girl hiding in a closet. She claimed to be the girlfriend of a 3rd roommate, 34 year old Paul Kunzler. Kunzy was charged with statutory rape. Surprisingly, police say alcohol may have played a role in the initial shooting incident...

During an ensuing search of the house, officers found a 13-year-old girl hiding in a basement closet, Wyant said. The girl told police she had sneaked out of her house without her father's knowledge to see Kunzler, according to a jail report.

After further questioning, investigators learned Kunzler and the 13-year-old had been having a relationship for four months. The two had met through a common friend, Wyant said.

Oh! You're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh! There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name...

Utah's dress up dad

There weren't too many interesting local stories today, so I went to my traditional weird news sites, instead. This one was kind of bizarre. If you get a chance, check out the video. A parent of a high school Sophomore in Utah decided to embarrass his son, by waving goodbye to him each morning as he got on his school bus. As if that wasn't embarrassing enough, he did it dressed as a different character each day. The father lost his leg years ago in a motorcycle accident. (The story doesn't mention whether he was wearing a helmet at the time). He says the costumes are his way of showing his son he loves him. The son's new therapist strongly disagrees with this assessment...
