Woman dead after fight over bowling ball erupts into gunfire, Georgia police say

A fight over a bowling ball ended with a woman shot to death outside an entertainment venue in southwest Atlanta, authorities said.

Officers arrived at the Metro Fun Center on Metropolitan Parkway just before 11 p.m. Thursday, March 17, to reports of someone shot, Atlanta police said in a news release. There they found a woman with “multiple gunshot wounds.”

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

What began as a celebration at the bowling alley turned violent when authorities said an argument over a bowling ball spilled into the venue’s parking lot, WAGA reported, citing investigators.

“This is truly an atrocity,” Atlanta Police Homicide Commander Ralph Woolfolk said, according to the news station. “A young lady has lost her life tonight as a result of an argument over a bowling ball.”

pack heat whenever I go bowling. It's a really rough activity. 😞

Seriously though, what the hell is this country coming to? Everything has to be settled by shooting each other.

Where would the world be without The Big Lebowski out-takes?

It'd be damn boring, that's what.

... so many "good guys" with guns who will protect their fellow citizens at a place like a bar. Their drinking will probably improve their judgment and reflexes too, like when they drive home.



It's indeed crazy!

I have really got to know what was so special about this ball that someone would kill another person over it.
