MySpace - A Place For Friends (To Shoot Each Other).

A teenage girl who threatened to shoot another girl during a conversation on MySpace.com followed through on her threat Tuesday, shooting the girl in the leg in Boscobel, court records say.
Andrea L. Haskins, 15, has been charged as an adult in Grant County Circuit Court with one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide after she shot Amanda K. Knoble, 17, in the parking lot of the Dollar General Store in Boscobel around 9:40 p.m. Tuesday, police said.
The girls were arguing through their MySpace pages Sunday night, when Haskins wrote to Knoble, “i do have the gutz to shoot you ill show you if you come to my … house right now. ”
On Tuesday, Knoble drove to the parking lot with two other girls when Haskins came out of her home at 402 Center St., just a few hundred feet away, with a .22-caliber rifle. Haskins then shot Knoble in the lower leg, police said.
A witness called 911 while Haskins returned to her home, threw the gun on the floor and ran out of the house with her father chasing her, police said.
Haskins was soon arrested by police who were on the scene. She is being held at the Grant County Jail on $50,000 cash bail, assistant public defender Rose Oliveto said.
Andrea ’s father, Robert Haskins, refused to comment Wednesday.
Knoble was taken to Boscobel Area Health Care and then airlifted to a hospital in Madison. Her condition is not life-threatening, police said.
“i do have the gutz to shoot you ill show you if you come to my fukin house right now.”
This girl knows how to use a shotgun, but does not know how to write a simple sentence!
Awesome.

First a suicide by a girl over MySpace comments, now a MySpace shooting. You never ever see this crap happen with Facebook!!!
Michael:
You’re right, but think about this:
Two people that know each other had a tragic altercation which happened to start on MySpace. It’s no different than if the argument happened over the telephone, but the media hears “MySpace” and runs with it.
she knows how to write a scentance its just myspace talk dumbies
