Mark Waid Goes On Rampage At BOOM! Offices, Wounded By Police
You thought it was just a slogan… they were trying to warn us.
Authorities were investigating this morning’s shooting spree at the BOOM! Studios offices that ended when a shotgun carrying Mark Waid was wounded by officers.
Los Angeles police spokesman Lee Travers said Waid went to the office at about 11:10 a.m. and began shooting up computers with a shotgun.
Officers confronted Waid and told him to drop the shotgun. Instead he pointed the gun at the officers, at which point they fired at Waid, Travers said.
Waid was taken to an area hospital for treatment and was expected to survive– a great relief to publisher Ross Richie, who was concerned that Waid’s script for Irredeemable #13 might be late.
Sources say Waid was upset because no one remembered his birthday a week and a half ago.
Man I smelled this as a "April Fools Day" Prank a Mile Away!!!!!
The real tragedy is that, because it's April Fool's Day, some people will be reluctant to believe that this actually happened…PAD
Sadly true. Which is why we're waiting until tomorrow to announce you're taking over the writing chores on Mark's books.
Yeah…IF it's a joke, it's not funny; it's just sick.
any fan of the REAL Legion of Super Heroes, will be very disappointed that this is, A – a joke, or B- didn't happen in 2004.
Happy birthday Mark.
I'm still trying to figure out how the shotgun was carrying Mark Waid…
"…when a shotgun carrying Mark Waid was wounded by officers." So Waid was riding the shotgun when the officers wounded the shotgun–?!
