Mz would love this as a Weird Newz story, but she's got a bit of laryngitis right now, so by time she got to it, it would be old news.

Boys get gunshots, not treats, for Halloween

Wed Nov 2,10:04 AM ET

ROME (Reuters) - Two Italian boys were recovering in hospital on Tuesday after a 70-year-old man shot them with his hunting rifle because he was frightened by their Halloween costumes.

The 14-year-old boys, dressed as demons, had knocked on the man's door during an evening of "trick or treat" near the northern town of Turin and set off a firecracker.

When the door opened, instead of a treat, the man fired four shots at the boys having been scared by the noise and their strange outfits, the news agency ANSA said.

Police arrested the man, who lived alone and was the victim of several robberies, for attempted murder, ANSA said. Police said the boys' lives were not in danger but one risked losing an eye.

The tradition of asking neighbors for sweets or money on Halloween is relatively new to Italy but is gaining popularity.

Given the circumstances, I would have shot them too.

I can't say that I blame him. If "Trick or Treat" is a relatively new thing for them and he's had problems in the past, I'd think they would have to take that into consideration.

I still did the Asparagus bit.  It is so funny to watch the kids faces.  What is even better is how the parents smile--one kid took it very serious and I had to chase him down the driveway saying it was a trick--his dad was rotfl.
