003) The wall shooters

The desk sergeant was "tsk tsk"ing as he folded the morning paper away. "What was in there?" the corporal asked, quoting the phrase and mimicking the dog voice in the Clark the Dog video.
"Well. all I can say," the sergeant answered- giving the corporal a dirty look for his early morning levity- "the people of Williams Lake better hide their daughters away quick."
"How come?" asked the corporal, interested.
"Well, that member who was shooting up his house last week- probably just trying to shoot apples off his wife's head- has been suspended" the sergeant said sadly, "and he'll probably get posted to Williams Lake like our last wall-shooter, who beat a teenaged girl up there to a total bloody pulp in the back of his cruiser."

"Harsh!" moaned the corporal.
The sergeant considered this seriously for a moment and then replied "Well, 'harsh' might be a bit strong. They'll issue him a fur hat for winter, and it's pretty nice country up there in summer."
