Yahoo! News - Czech cop fires at jaywalker



Lo que en México es considerado casi un deporte es ilegal en casi todo el mundo. Jaywalking, cruzarse la calle por enmedio, y no en las esquinas y tambien cuando no tiene luz roja la vía que se cruza...

pero ahora sé porque en algunos lugares no lo hago...

A Czech policeman has been relieved of his duty and faces a criminal investigation after taking a crackdown on traffic violations too far when he shot at a pedestrian crossing against a red light.



The online edition of the Czech daily Pravo reported the policeman in the western city of Pilsen fired a warning shot in the air as a man walked against the traffic light.

The pedestrian did not return to the sidewalk, so the policeman shot at him twice, missing both times.

"The policeman claimed that he didn't want to kill anyone, and that he was aiming at the man's legs," the daily quoted a Pilsen police official as saying.

No one was injured in the incident, though one of the policeman's shots hit a passing car.

Czech police have embarked on a series of campaigns aimed at halting the rising number of traffic accidents across the country.


hey... solo era a las piernas...
