beige_alertRight here in Wisconsin, two people were injured in a gun-should-have-been-loaded-with-blanks-but-wasn't incident at a staged train robbery of the "Santa Train." One of the actors got hit with 46 shotgun pellets, and a 14 year old spectator ended up with a pellet in his finger. According to the Sheboygan Press "The re-enactment unfolded with the actors engaging in a simulated shootout with police on Second Street near Harris Bank, after pretending to steal dynamite from a local hardware store for use in robbing the train, which was carrying Santa Claus."
I'm trying to imagine explaining the whole concept of a staged train robbery involving Santa, guns, and explosives as wholesome entertainment for the children. Never mind the accident, isn't this, you know, weird? I guess every culture has its traditions that seem bizarre to foreigners. This is the Random Lake, Wisconsin example.
