Not a death, but it could have been.

A New York woman reportedly bit a police officer’s face after she was pulled over on Staten Island, authorities claim.

The Staten Island Advance reports that Amanda Diaz, 27, of Staten Island, was driving a 1998 Nissan Maxima on Oct. 4 when she was pulled over for swerving into opposing traffic.

Diaz reportedly swore at officers when asked for her license and struggled with them when she was placed under arrest. A female officer then tried to subdue her in the back seat of a patrol car when Diaz bit her face, “causing the skin to rip off, bleeding, substantial pain, annoyance and alarm,” according to court papers.

Now not only does New York ban guns, but they’re aggravating this by banning sugary drinks and encouraging strong sharp teeth! Also think about all the disease vectors that can be transmitted from a bite! This could have been deadly…might be still if screening hasn’t been done.

Hey, but she didn’t use a gun!

Even Contract Killers are getting on the “Gun Death” bandwagon!

A cocktail waitress was bludgeoned to death with a hammer by a man hired by her estranged husband to make the killing look like a break-in gone wrong, prosecutors allege.

Paramedics said the hole in Shauna Tiaffay’s head was so deep they first thought she may have been shot….hey claim the Las Vegas firefighter knew what his daughter would find at her mother’s home because he had instructed a longtime friend to carry out the attack, according to a police report seen by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Detectives say Tiaffay, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, had tried to commit suicide by driving his truck into a wall after learning he had become a prime suspect.

His friend Noel ‘Greyhound’ Stevens, 37, a vagrant who lives in campsites around the town, has been accused of committing the murder.

He was arrested after a ‘concerned citizen’ allegedly called police to say a man nicknamed Greyhound killed someone’s wife for $600 and the promise of more cash.

Even more alliteration! Hobo Hitman with a Hammer!!! But not a “Gun Death”! Now this guy probably can’t be listed as a “Professional” hitman. Still I’ve always been interested in contract killers, either organized crime, or government operatives. I’ve read more than a few books on the subject, and overall I find that firearms are rarely used by contract killers. Instead they prefer poisons or explosives, allowing more distance from the killer and the target. The sniper or the drive-by just aren’t as common because it leaves too much easily-collected evidence, and puts the killer at more risk.

All the best for the antis, as they can simply ignore it, even when the medics first thought this attack was a GSW!
