Two words I never would have expected to see in the same news story: SWAT and
Mexia, Texas
Sgt. Scott Neal, 31, was shot by a fellow officer as Mexia ISD and Mexia police went through SWAT training exercises in an abandoned fire department next to Mexia's city hall shortly after noon, said Matt Cawthon, a Texas Ranger who was among those that responded to the shooting.
“Team leaders, commanders and instructors are to check and double check (weapons used in training exercises), but somehow that one didn't get checked,” Cawthon said. “There's no sense in it. It's just tragic.”
Other things with no sense in it? Why the hell does Mexia
ISD, much less the entire
city of Mexia participate in SWAT training? Are they afraid Anna Nichole is going to come back and get rowdy at Jim's Crispy Fried Chicken?
What a pointlessly ridiculous waste of life. Anna Nichole, too.
