New Man killed in Amish tomato-tossing prank

MOUNT HOPE, Ohio (AP) -- It's an annual prank in this tranquil Amish community, where men wear straw hats and women bonnets and plain dresses: Youngsters hide in cornfields and hurl tomatoes at passing cars.

This year, the mischief turned deadly.

A motorist who had been pelted several times on Labor Day got out of his car and fired three to five rounds into the 7-foot-high corn, killing 23-year-old Steven L. Keim.

I dunno.
Sad?
Looks like a Darwin award.

1) He was not a kid. 23? Not even close.
2) They were also firing paintballs. Hit a driver
through an open side window and you can KILL
them. It WILL cause an accident either way.
3) They continued AFTER they were told to stop.
They were told specifically the guy was going to
shoot them. They got fair warning.

Think people will be doing it next year?
