According to the article, the wind blew the rifle off of the roof.

That could be a plausible theory if there wasn't any weight in the bag and it acted like a sail to catch the wind. Below is the reported weather in Buffalo for St. Patrick's day.

Don't shoot the messenger. I'm not taking up for the cop but just reporting the facts. Regardless of the wind, he was still responsible for securing the weapon.

I'm not a sniper but just play one on this forum. So, IMHO, he should not have silhouetted himself. Did he think that nobody would notice him? That makes him the perfect target for a BG. Oh but because he is one of the "chosen ones," he probably thought that nobody would ever dare to shoot at him.

Here's a copy of the Buffalo weather for St. Patrick's day.

This happened on a local lake I grew up on.

‘Here I Am,’ Man Reportedly Says Before Bolt Strikes Him Dead

May 27, 1987
BOSSIER CITY, La. (AP) _ A man standing in the stern of his new boat raised his hands, looked skyward and declared, ″Here I am,″ just before a lightning bolt struck him dead, authorities said.
Graves Thomas, a 40-year-old Shreveport attorney, died of electrocution on Memorial Day, forensic pathologist Dr. George McCormick said Tuesday.
There was no thunder, lightning or sign of lightning before the killer bolt struck, said Dan Rusell Jr., one of four friends in the boat with Thomas on Lake Bisteneau east of here Monday.
Thomas’ last words were reported by one of the four, said Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Hodges, but he refused to say which one.


Grew up near Black's Camp on Lake Bisteneau. Ran trot lines before school in my little Jon boat. Crazy weather was common, and the thing to do was immediately head for shore and shelter. FAAFO ;-)

All the rich Mopar Dorks are standing in line shouting take my money.

I sent that to my SiL.

He replied back that the stealerships are planning to mark them up to $400k, not sure if he's serious...but I'm sure they will be marked up significantly over MSRP.

He has a wide body Challenger R/T Scat Pack 392.
