POLICE CONTRAST TUESDAY'S SENSELESS SHOOTING WITH MONDAY'S QUITE SENSIBLE ONE

PITTSBURGH - Police called Tuesday's shooting that injured a convenience store owner downtown "senseless," in contrast with Monday's shooting downtown stemming from a domestic dispute, which police say was "quite sensible."

The perpetrator in Tuesday's store owner shooting, police say, was a "perfect stranger" who had never met his victim. However, Monday's shooting victim had been married to his assailant for 31 years. Police Commander Noah Swayne said he is hoping Monday's shooting heralds "a renaissance of traditional values" and a "return to the good old days, when crime was committed by people who knew, and had reason to hate," their victim. "It's time to get crime off the streets and back in the kitchen where it belongs," Swayne said.
