troopers walking slowly down the street Megan Fry had jumped out in front

of them and yelled Boo!. The troopers, thinking she was a pop up target,

fired 67 shots between them, over 40 of them hitting the target. OShe

just looked like a very real looking target,¹ one of the troopers stated

in his report

Sounds improbable, but it cracked me up so I'm inclined to accept it.

Neutral: Urban Legend
I remember a while back (I beleive it was at SNopes.com) reading about a similar story, and it was verified as an Urbal legend, WIthout proper sources to verify this story, im giving it a UL.

Definitely Toss: Other
Sorry, but without a verification we just can't accept this. To me, this sounds like an urban legend in the making. Can you verify this story?


Daniel said:

Needs something, and I couldn't trace the link to verify.
