Gunman kills 2 clowns in Colombian circus
BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) -- Two clowns were shot and killed by an unidentified gunman during their performance at a traveling circus in the eastern Colombian town of Cucuta, police said Wednesday.
The gunman burst into the Circo del Sol de Cali on Monday night and shot the clowns in front of an audience of 20 to 50 people, local police chief Jose Humberto Henao told Reuters.
One of the clowns was killed instantly, and the second died the next day in hospital.
"The killings had nothing to do with the show the victims were performing at the time of the incident," Henao said in a telephone interview. "We are investigating the motive."
With an entrance fee of under 50 cents, Circo del Sol de Cali attracts mostly poor Colombians. It pitched its tents in Cucuta, near the border with Venezuela, earlier this month.
"The clowns came out to give their show, and then this guy came out shooting them," one audience member told local television. "It was terrible."

Maybe he just gone done watching "Steven King's IT".
Or, he went down to the local porn shop and saw his wife starring in "Bang'em & Ballies Three Cock Ring Circus" or something...

Absolutely hilarious, the only thing funnier than a clown is a clown being shot in the face

I don't really like clowns because they're generally not talented and not funny, but that doesn't mean they need to be shot. They just need to be guided to a more fitting profession, like writing for SNL or Mad TV.
I wonder what the motive was.

When asked for comment, the gunman screamed, "Seltzer! I hate seltzer!"
