I would just call it a grenade, and be happy with that.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Authorities say they are investigating an apparent gunfight at an off-road vehicle rally in Mexico’s Baja California state that left 10 people dead and another 10 wounded.Videos posted on social media showed heavy shooting at the rally in an area of Ensenada and at least three bodies lying on the ground.
The shooting, which took place early Saturday afternoon, provoked an intense mobilization of units of the army, navy, and state and local police.
Baja California officials say gunmen in one vehicle opened fire on people and vehicles at the rally. State prosecutor Ricardo Iván Carpio said that vehicle was found to have “perforations from gunshots and traces of blood inside.”

Jim Gaffigan is now contemplating the “too soon” metric for his next tour.
Are you kidding?
“Hot Pockets-good enough to kill over.”
We have tickets to see Gaffigan in late August. I’ll report back on any comments he makes about this case.
Another 6 year old takes gun to school article–with an interesting twist:
A couple of stand-out points in that article:
-
The boy’s father said, “[They]’ve taken every action that we possibly can in [their] own power”. Nah. Here’s a nifty one: don’t have the gun at home.
-
The dad bought the safe from a Chinese company. Apparently (according to the dad), all fingerprints look alike to the safe. According to the KETV staff, though, the thing works as advertised provided one follows the instructions.
And, according to the article, with a new chipset.

While going down internet rabbit holes…I have learned that more people die from gun “incidents” per year than car accidents in the great state of Arizona.
Somehow…I’m not surprised.
WTF, Texas? Do you really need Winnie the Pooh telling 5-year olds how to react during a school shooting? And what’s with the rhyming? That’s The Cat in the Hat’s schtick.

With apologies to A. A. Milne. I am truly sorry. 
So, today’s stupid gun news: A bus driver and a passenger get into a gun battle. On the bus. While it’s moving. With other passengers aboard.
Both idjits survived. The passenger (who wanted off between stops and got enraged when told no) was gut-shot. The driver (who kept firing after the threat was neutralized) got hit in the arm. Oh, and he wasn’t supposed to be packing heat and has been fired, while the passenger is facing criminal charges.
There’s video of the encounter with the story, and it looks to me as if the driver actually shot first.
All those responsible gun owners!
An armed society sure is polite.
Or are assholes naturally drawn to owning weapons? Like SUV’s? Marketed at the worst, most insecure drivers and the biggest assholes.
Note that:
Chow’s son said Carmack-Belton had a gun, which is when the owner shot him in the back as he was running away, Lott said. Authorities later recovered a gun next to the teen’s body, but the sheriff said there was no evidence the teen ever pointed the weapon at Chow or his son.
Assuming it wasn’t one of the Chows who planted the gun before the cops arrived.
