Tragic news today as former Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally unleashed a hail of bullets on a hunting trip gone wrong, inadvertently wounding the entire US congress. Fortunately there were no deaths and only minor injuries with a few hospitalizations.
The tragedy occurred at a joint house congressional hunting trip to which Cheney had been invited as a guest of honor. The former VP arrived with a special "All Terrain" wheel chair with attached Gatling shotgun.
As Cheney maneuvered his wheel chair, the wheel became entangled and he attempted to pull himself free. This is when the mounted gun was accidentally triggered, unleashing over two thousand rounds in less than a minute. When the smoke cleared Cheney was on his back still seated in the wheel chair and the entire congress, unfortunately in the direct line of fire, had taken cover behind various bullet hole riddled obstacles.
Fortunately Cheney's gun only was loaded with bird shot and only minor injuries were reported.
