---Live here in New Orleans is rarely boring. Neal and I think this might be Darwin worthy:

---Friday night, one of the security guards, Richard Antoine (54), at the public high
school I
work at was working for a dance at another high school school. He
and another guard were playing quick-draw with their guns. Antoine apparently
kicked the other guard's gun. It went off, and shot Antoine in the chest. He died
at the hospital.

---This guard was a police officer in Mississippi, and had worked several
years as a school security guard. He was also a roaming Baptist Minister.
---
---The other guard is facing charges of criminal negligence, which carries a
sentence of up to five years.

---
---So, what do you think?

y only concern is that Antoine didn't actually kill himself; however, he was one of the two people involved in the game, and he did kick the other guard's gun, causing it to shoot. Maybe, he did kill himself.
I glanced at some of the sections of the site, including the slush pile, but since the story is so new, I didn't expect to find it, so I didn't look really hard. Submitted on 04/28/2002
