The owner took out a huge homeowner's insurance policy on Santa days prior to the shooting.

Remember- This is bigger than all of us.

My advice- quit asking questions while we are ahead. Never mind there also appeared to be no exit wound in the video, something I'd expect to see if there was a firearm powerful enough to shoot through not just one, but - two layers of chinese quality santa nylon.

As I've investigated plenty of Santa inflatable killings from back when I was on the force. I know what I'm talking about!!!!!

This really does have the makings of a good youtube video. Recreate the scene in a controlled environment, buy several santa's and dispatch them with several calibers of real guns. .22, 9mm, 308, shotgun, blackpowder. Cordite in santa's butt.

Looks like coinkidink.
Hot car exhaust hitting a cold (sub freezing) low quality poly fabric.

Fear mongers.

Anything with a gun hits news.

Turns out a ninja star was found at the bottom of inflatable Santa. Fingerprints match those of 8 year old Timmy Sheetdisturber two doors down the street, and he was detained a couple of hours ago. Santa is recuperating from some quick nylon patchwork surgery and is reinflating well. The reindeer on the roof are responding well to counseling.

Fill 'em up with propane and use a cigarette as a 3 minute fuse.

Don't get me wrong, it could have been Timmy. He used to cut the grass. He was a very nice boy.

Was there a second shooter on the grassy knoll?
Buried him out in Coalinga.
Still got the shovel!

I had a bunch of shuriken when I was a teen, but never one like that. Based on what I remember reading about them when I was a teen, they were actually thin, not thick. But then I've never been or met an actual ninja from feudal Japan, so I have no idea.

Or maybe the paper boy. "I want my two dollars!"

HTH does one throw a ninja star when all sides are razor sharp?
Or...how do you carry one in your pocket?

I watched a movie that featured an atlatl last night. A very unusual weapon used by a serial killer.
