LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — One man was wounded by gunfire early Tuesday in Lexington, numerous small fires were set and dozens were arrested as thousands celebrated Kentucky's win over Kansas to claim another NCAA title, authorities reported.

Battalion Chief Ed Davis of the Lexington Division of Fire and Emergency Services said he saw the shooting as he was filling out paperwork on a wreck involving a fire engine. Davis said he heard yelling about 25 feet away, and one man started shooting at another. He said the gun was fired "quite a few times."

Police Lt. Clayton Roberts said no arrests had been made in the shooting, which happened shortly after 2 a.m. EDT. The gunman disappeared into the crowd and behind some buildings and police could not locate him, Roberts said.

The wounded man, who is in his 30s, was taken to University of Kentucky Medical Center with serious injuries that weren't believed to be life-threatening, Roberts said.

6. I alerted.

The jury is letting it stay.

Good grief. I'm spending less and less time here because of shit posts like this.

8. I think part of the problem with the jury system

is the even number of jurors leads to a lot of ties.

Yes, I know that real juries are even numbered, but we are not trying criminal cases here.

4. the shooter could always claim he was a Kansas fan and felt threatened by all those Ky folks

it would take an arrest out of the picture.

that is where the NRA/gunnders want us to go, isn't it?

9. You bring up an interesting point

What happens when one person kills 2 or more people and claims "I felt threatened"?

14. If his claim meets the "reasonable" standard, he goes free.

The Jayhawks won in 2008. There was a big party but no fires or gunshots.
