Shooting to hear the sound? He was angry, liquored up, and had a gun in a drinking establishment, which he used to shoot up the world. Could've put bullets in any number of people. I'd almost rather someone drive drunk that swing a gun around in the middle of town. I hope they throw the book at this guy.
