October 13, 200421 yr SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- A man shot to death by police outside a football stadium has been identified by his family as one of the winners of an $87 million lottery jackpot. Rick Camat, 32, was shot early Sunday as dozens of people fled to avoid a fight outside a bar before a St. Louis Rams-Seattle Seahawks game. Police alleged that Camat was carrying a handgun and fired at a car that was leaving the area. Authorities said he crouched behind another vehicle and pointed a handgun at officers. Relatives insisted Camat only fired into the air to break up the fight and said officers never issued a warning before shooting him. "He shot once in the air to scare people away. He didn't aim it at anyone," said Camat's brother, Brian, who was with him at the time. Officer Debra Brown said the family's account "differs vastly from the statements of dozens of witnesses who were at the scene that evening."........... http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/10/13/lo...h.ap/index.html Perhaps he should have bought some brains with his winnings...
October 14, 200421 yr He fired once in the air, to scare people away? I wonder if he realized that his bullet had to land SOMEWHERE. Maybe he ended up shooting an old lady 5 blocks away when the bullet just happened to land? Gravity has a nasty tendancy to make things come back to earth.
