A Neighbor in Florida Heard Hockey Fans Yelling “Shoot!” and Thought It Was a Gun Thing… So They Called the Cops

Last week, someone in Tampa, Florida heard their neighbors yelling, quote, “Shoot!  Shoot!” and “I dare you to shoot!”  So they called the cops.

Four cops came to the scene to see what was happening.

And . . . it turned out the people yelling “shoot” were watching the Tampa Bay Lightning HOCKEY GAME and were screaming at the players to shoot the puck.

In the neighbor’s defense, if I heard someone yelling “shoot!” in Florida, I’d also think of guns before hockey.

Anyway, fortunately everyone laughed it off, and the people who called the cops even wound up buying some beer for their neighbors.
