4. ACTUAL headline: Police sergeant found dead in car after allegedly shooting Beverly police officer

The thread headline is seriously misleading. The shooting did NOT occur IN a Starbucks but rather outside. The shooter was one of those police types, you know, the ONLY ones that should be able to "tote" a weapon because they've been thoroughly checked out and stuff. You know, ONLY they can be trusted with guns.

Be that as it may, my sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
