    Correct me if I'm wrong but this appears to me to be a Prius Plug-In, with bullet holes. Harsh story but apparently some 12-13 year-old boys stole a car in Toronto. After a police officer trying to stop the stolen car got out of his cruiser, the 12 year-old driver hit the police officer with the stolen car, so the police officer fired. Kid is alive but is in hospital with serious injuries.

    BTW, are the new model Priuses and Prius Plug-Ins often stolen? (I'm not talking about the catalytic converters.)

    Nice shot placement.
    I also noticed some dents in the nose that I hope were there before the incident - but it is NOT a wireless G5 becuase of the PHEV emblem on the rear if I'm reading that correctly.
    Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle.....

    Hope the LEO 1s OK and I'm glad the 12-year-old will live to see 13.

    You don't get to run over cops down here in America either.
    Recent case in South Memphis.......which for you budding geography students means 'Mississippi.'
    THAT one is going to go national because of the state, age of the victims and whether or not it is deemed as an 'in policy' shoot.
    Even if it is.......looks pretty bad.

    stealing cars and running people over will be a tough disease to overcome. too bad there isn't a vaccine...

    Holy water and Sacramental wine works for some.....

    -not MY jam per-se (I'm a Prod) but it seems to be more effective than retroactive butt whipping.
