All Hail the Second Amendment

An aspiring TV producer, who had worked for Comedy Central’s viral video-based series “Tosh.0,” was accidentally killed on Monday night when Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies mistook him for a mad slasher, FOX411 has learned.

A panicky 911 caller told dispatchers a man with a 10-inch butcher knife was threatening people. So when Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies saw a wounded, bloody man rush out of a West Hollywood apartment with someone on his heels, they opened fire.

But the man they gunned down Monday night wasn't the slasher; he was a fleeing hostage.

Mike Moor of Lee's Summit said he'll now be carrying a Smith & Wesson .38 caliber handgun in response to a double-digit amount of shootings along the metro area's highways over the past month. He's decided to carry a firearm as he said he has to drive through the Three Trails Crossing area, also known as the Grandview Triangle, many times daily.

Normally he carries his gun under the seat of his car, now he said he is keeping it even closer. “Anytime I hit the roads over here, I actually stick just underneath my leg,” he said.
