A stray bullet killed 21-year-old international student Harsimrat Randhawa on April 17. The innocent bystander was waiting for the bus. Arch-criminals in two stolen cars were settling scores.

Now, if you’re caught, you can plead down to manslaughter, be out in a few years and then claim the title of Big Man on Campus in your neighbourhood.
