Deputies use Reporter's Face for Target Practice

When an investigative reporter uncovered instances of voter fraud involving the local Sheriff's office, deputies weren't going to take the accusations lying down.

Blowing up a picture of Fox 8 reporter Lee Zurik's face, they pinned it to a board on the firing range and used it for target practice.

Unfortunately for the trigger-happy Sheriff's department of St. Bernard, New Orleans, Fox 8 saw the picture and fired off a few opinions of their own.

Sheriff Jack Stephens has since apologized to Zurik, assuring him that the officers did not mean him any harm. Nonetheless, Zurik should probably stay well within the speed limit for the foreseeable future...
