Drive-by shooting injures four people in PS3 line

Hey, this whole lining up gig is getting serious, guys. Violent, too. We’ve heard of a dad lining up since Monday to secure a console for his son as promised. And then we’ve seen another line over at Circuit City in New York. And just now, someone hiring 50 homeless men to line up for him. And you thought you’ve seen it all?

At a Best Buy store, four people were shot while waiting in line, including a 27 NEWSFIRST reporter, Elizabeth Dorsett. She had been interviewing the PS3 fans when someone had opened fire on them. It was a drive-by involving BB guns and no one was seriously injured.

BBs as they might be, and not actual guns [shivers], those things still actually hurt! That kid who got creamed while lining up for Gears of War was one thing. Getting shot is quite something else entirely (even if they’re just BBs). Police who are investigating the incident are on the look-out for suspects and are currently posted at the Best Buy store to protect the innocent people in line.

So, if you guys still have plans of lining up, better make sure you pack some stuff you can protect yourself with. You might have your tents, fold-out chairs, coolers, reading material, and beer. But when things get messy, don’t expect to fend away the bad guys with a half-answered crossword puzzle at the back of your Reader’s Digest.
