Shots fired, player hit

As the World Series has concluded and the new poker year begins, just like that we get a reminder of some real issues facing poker players in search of a good, honest game.
Details are sparse as they filter in to Las Vegas, but we’re hearing that a room in Northeast Dallas was robbed at about 1 am central. According to unconfirmed reports:
- Three men burst into a big Omaha game firing rifles and shotguns.
- One player hit, either from ricochet or shrapnel.
- Dallas police were called to the scene and responded.
- Local news crew in tow.
- Typical player here lived in Plano, Richardson, Frisco, or McKinney.
This has been at least the third armed robbery of a Dallas poker room in the past few months, fourth if you include the attempted pillaging where the gunmen were briefly locked in a lobby and a dealer tried to hide herself in a trash bag.

Steve, I would like to bet you the sum of 1,000 American Dollars that it was not Redman.
