PHILADELPHIA - A man shot a former co-worker to death on Easter because he was offended by a joke told seven years ago, authorities said Monday.

Stanford Douglas Jr., 29, was arrested on murder charges Sunday after a two-hour standoff with police. He allegedly shot William Berkeyheiser, 62, three times in the chest and shoulder on March 27 at Berkeyheiser's suburban home.

Prosecutor Diane Gibbons said that Douglas told police he had been thinking about killing Berkeyheiser since 1998, when the two men worked at a Philadelphia nursing home and Berkeyheiser told a joke that offended Douglas. advertisement

The prosecutor would not say what the joke was

It just took him that long to get it! He was immediately incensed.

6. I saw video footage of the shooter on TV yesterday......
You can tell by the expression on his face that he has issues! Either that or he's been medicated into blankness.

7. yep. A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.
Please don't kill me.

Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead to know basis. Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses. Acupuncture is a jab well done. (help, I can't stop) A plateau is a high form of flattery! A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion.

And why, oh why couldn't the bicycle stand alone? Because it was two tired.

:evilgrin:
