While You Were at the Bar 7/28

News you can use:

A terrible scene unfolded in a Knoxville, Tenn. church Sunday morning as a man armed with a shotgun entered during a children's production of "Annie" and began shooting. Two people were killed and five others were critically or seriously injured. All of the victims were adults, no children were harmed. The gunman was not a member of the church, but is now in custody as three worshippers tackled him and held him until police arrived. No motive is currently known, but the phrase 'special place in Hell' is coming to mind.

Carlos Sastre won the Tour de France on Sunday. Sastra, who is the third consecutive Spaniard to take the yellow jersey, beat the second place rider by 58 seconds overall.

A Qantas airlines 747 had a hole blown in its fuselage Friday, causing a loss in cabin pressure. The pilot had to quickly get the massive plane from 29,000 feet to 10,000 feet in order to make the cabin's pressure bearable and made an emergency landing in Manila, Philippines. Oxygen tanks on the airlines' 747 fleet are being inspected, owing to the probable cause of this explosion.
