Wild West Show Turns Dangerous

It seems that some tourists may have gotten shot at a Wild West show in South Dakota.

Three spectators were hospitalized on Friday evening after receiving "wounds that were consistent with bullet-type injuries," Lieutenant Marty Graves of the Pennington County Sheriff's Department told Reuters.

The guns used in the show were supposed to be loaded with fake bullets known as blanks, Graves said. No real bullets or bullet fragments were recovered from the scene.

My money is on blanks exploding near tourists perhaps injuring them. I know blanks can actually kill someone if it is fired too close to them. That is what supposedly killed Brandon Scott Lee in the Crow movie.
