You just can't make this stuff up.
Pay close attention to the last paragraph. Some lessons are hard learned

Mike ScottNDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) — Police responding to a rare alligator sighting in suburban Kansas City took quick action to dispatch of the beast, shooting it in the head, as instructed, while it lurked menacingly in the weeds leading down to a pond.
It wasn’t until a second rifle shot bounced off the reptile’s head that the officers realized they had mortally wounded a concrete lawn ornament.
Well, I just heard the story was "embellished" so I guess you can make this stuff up. It's still funny as hell though.
