Police shoot faux alligator

In Kansas City, police fired upon an alligator lurking near a pond. Turns out, the alligator was a concrete lawn ornament partially obscured by weeds. The owner of the property said that the decoration was meant to scare people off his property. From AOL: A resident of a subdivision near the pond called police Saturday evening to report that his children spotted the alligator while they were playing in some nearby woods. After consulting a conservation agent, who told them to kill the gator if they felt it posed a danger, one of the officers shot it twice in the head before realizing something was up, said Tom Gentry, an Independence police spokesman.
