An hispanic man was shot in the head after singing Somos Mas Americano in a karaoke bar...by another hispanic man.

I really, really hope the shooter doesn't have a CHL.

¿Vamanos¿ Hmmm...?

It sounds like there may be more to this story than just a bad singer, eh?

Ya' think?

Police say the shooter and three other men were seen speeding away from the restaurant in a red Chevrolet pickup truck. Two women who were sitting at the shooter’s table drove away in a green Nissan Pathfinder before police arrived. Both vehicles were last seen headed north on Hilcroft.

This is, without a doubt, my favorite story of the day.
Not even the Michigan and Arizona primaries can bring me more facepalm.

RIP my karaoke compatriot.

I got to see the lyrics of that oh-so-wonderful song...I'll go on record as saying I didn't care for it so much.

Geeez, he probably had a better audience response in Nuevo Laredo but it just didn't travel well. Hmmm maybe American Idol should look at this screening technique.
