This Is Not What I Expected When Cops "Found A Shotgun In The Hood"

While most criminals are a special combination of stupid and lazy, there are still quite a few out there who have both cunning and imagination, such as the criminals who created a James Bond-like contraption to fire a shotgun out the front of a vehicle from inside the passenger compartment.

Recently, the Springfield MA Police Department discovered a shotgun concealed in the hood of a motor vehicle.

The gun was rigged to fire from a switch located within the passenger area of the car.

Officers should be aware of this method of firearm concealment.

While the story itself is from 2012, it’s still a very valid reminder that bad people are capable of deviously ingenious things.
