Happily

When we hear news of a mass shooting, especially a mass shooting on a military base, we prepare for really grim news. Happily, according to NBC News, this one seems to be emerging as considerably less so. Rather than a mass shooting, as we’re used to hearing about, this seems to have been an argument between a few National Guardsmen in which one doofus pulled out a gun and shot one fellow guardsman in the foot and another in the leg.

Perhaps we should coin the portmanteau, ‘derpfrag’ to describe this unfortunate but apparently nonlethal incident.
