"Texas fraternity's gunfire leads to brief police standoff"

[NWguy]

If alcohol was involved, as sometimes is the case with fraternity outings (not all, some), the potential for danger is sky high. Also, I'll assume most of these men were novice gun users and that makes it even riskier.

Even in rural Texas, there's gotta be other things to do - bowling, pizza party, miniature golf, camping trip, etc. With the money they spent on guns and ammo, they probably could've rented out a movie theater screening and watched "Zoolander 2" together.
