I will probably step on my crank here, but I missed something some where and 
I just need to ask.  It was only this email that got my attention.  Sorry. 
Did someone make a comment that the Texas Tower shoot out was not true or 
that it did not happen?  It certainly was not hilarious.  I don't know about 
Google, but the Texas Tower shoot out did happen and took place in Austin, 
Texas at the University of Texas Tower.  A young man got a rifle with lots 
of ammunition and went up on top of the tower and started shooting everyone 
that he saw out in the open.  A lot of people were killed and many wounded. 
This was way before all the school shootings started.  The police officer 
that finally ended it went on to become a Texas Ranger.  Sorry that I over 
looked the email and missed it, but noting about the incident was hilarious. 
I was a Police Lieutenant at the time of the incident, but in another city. 
Everyone should remember the incident because if we forget history we are 
destined to repeat it.

Floyd
