Bullets strike El Paso, Texas, city hall Published: June 30, 2010 at 9:41 PM
EL PASO, Texas, June 30 (UPI) -- City officials in El Paso, Texas, said they were still in shock Wednesday, the day after bullets, possible fired across the U.S-Mexico border, struck City Hall.
City Rep. Ann Morgan Lilly said she was preparing to leave her office to go home Tuesday when she heard about the shooting, the El Paso Times reported.
"Of course, I'm in shock. My office is right there," she said. "I won't be hanging out or looking out the window. Hopefully it won't happen again, but you never know."
Seven bullets struck the ninth-floor office of Assistant City Manager Pat Adauto on the west side of the building. The gunfire may have been stray shots from Juarez, Mexico, on the other side of the border, police said.
There were about five people in the office having a meeting Tuesday evening, City Manager Joyce Wilson told El Paso's KFOX-TV. She said when they realized it was a bullet, they hit the floor and vacated the office
One of the bullets came through the wall and knocked over a picture frame, the Times reported.
Another city representative says even though she was in another building, the shooting was disturbing.
"I think the thing that's really distressing is ... that there's weapons that can shoot that far and have that velocity," Rep. Susie Byrd said.
Wilson said safety procedures would be put in place.
"Now that something like this has happened we'll put in place more formal procedures so that if something like this occurs again we can have a major notification quickly throughout the building so people can move away from the windows," Wilson told KFOX-TV.

Dumb cops! For seven to hit the same office, they had to be aimed.
Declare war on Mexico, and carpet bomb Juarez.

Ya, it's fucking unbelievable. And awesome, you dummie.

Maybe build another city hall around the current city hall. A fake one, so that bullets will only hit that.
To the first, your mother and sister both thought I was a great fuck. And eagerly accepted the two dollar tip on top of the five dollars they charge for the 'twofer' ... Badeye

Thats what I thought as well.

Hmmm. A stray round could conceivable, if fired with enough elevation of the barrel, reach that far.
But seven? Its....possible, with some weapons I suppose...but I doubt it.

Well it's nothing that will effect hObama's golf swing, so why worry, right?
