NYPD Cop Shot While Vacationing In Miami Beach

Yesterday morning, a vacation NYC police officer was shot in the courtyard of a boutique hotel in Miami Beach. Police believe the NYPD cop and the gunman (or gunmen) traded at least a dozen shots.

And then it stopped, and then you heard 'pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop.'...And then you didn't hear anything." more ›

A Segway spokeswoman tells Grove, "Some people have questioned the safety of our product, but at least it doesn't bite back." The NBC producer apparently took pictures, so if anyone has seen them, let us know or, better yet, send them to us, because that'd be a nice middle-of-the-work day chuckle.
