Man Killed During Initiation at Masonic Lodge 3/9/04 Patchogue, N.Y. - A man was killed during a Masonic initiation ceremony when another member fired a gun loaded with real bullets instead of the expected blanks and shot him in the face, police said Tuesday. "A 76-year-old man alleged to have fired the shot was charged with manslaughter. William James, 47, was shot while participating in an induction Monday night at the Southside Masonic Lodge, Suffolk County police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Detective Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick said the ritual that went "tragically wrong" involves making a loud noise to frighten the new member. "The ceremony was designed to create a state of anxiety," he said. The lieutenant said the Masons sat James in a chair and placed cans on a small platform around his head. The alleged shooter, Albert Eid, was standing approximately 20 feet away holding a gun, Fitzpatrick said at a news conference. When the gun was fired, a man who had been holding a stick out of sight was supposed to knock the cans off the platform to make the inductee think they had been struck by bullets, he said."...."We don't use pistols," Steve Mayo, who described himself as a senior deacon of the lodge, told reporters Tuesday. "This is not a Masonic ceremony where we bring pistols." However, Fitzpatrick said members told police the rite involving a gun goes back at least 70 years. Mayo said the Monday night ceremony was an initiation into the�Fellow Craft, which is the second degree within the multilevel Masonic system." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,113691,00.html
all accusations are alleged - Georgia Supreme Court Orders Juvenile Court to Act on Child Abuse Case (part II) "Atlanta Archbishop Donoghue and the Leadership Council for Mental Health, Justice, and the Media join more than 30 others in a battle to protect two sexually abused Cobb County girls...Dozens of prominent citizens today filed a petition in the Cobb County Juvenile Court to protect two sexually abused girls who for over four years have been forced against their will by the Georgia Superior Court to live with their sexually abusive father in Marietta.
