It wasn't exactly pistols at 30 paces, but police say a security company supervisor and a restaurateur shot each other with Tasers in a "bonehead" confrontation over parking.

Officers said neither man needed medical attention after the Saturday confrontation, but Harvey Epstein, co-owner of Mamacitas restaurant, was arrested on suspicion of felony menacing and using a stun gun.

In todays bizzare news you don't hear of every day...

Two guys getting in a "Taser shoot out" with one another.

Just when you think you've heard it all. Tasers really are a menace, in ANYBODY's hands IMO...

Dane told police he was afraid Epstein was going to hit him with a 2-foot-long pair of bolt cutters. Epstein told police he had only tried to remove the boot with the bolt cutters and hadn't threatened anyone with them.

Epstein told police Dane put his hand on a holstered pistol and threatened to shoot him. Dane told The Associated Press by telephone that he did put his hand on the holstered pistol but never threatened to shoot Epstein.

Both men drew Tasers.

"They shot each other," Police Sgt. Pat Wyton told the Camera newspaper. "It was just kind of a bonehead deal."

they probably looked at each other when they were done shooting each other and felt like idiots. At least they didn't use a real gun!

All this over a parking space?

Amazing what society has come to, in my opinion, when a man would rather use a taser than park further away.

Taser Duels. Not just for the criminaly insane anymore.

Actually, I wonder about the wording of the arrest record. If there was a charge of threatening with a deadly weapon, then the next time a cop in that state uses one and then hid behind it being just a harmless way to control a suspect, a good lawyer would have a feild day.
