JUST OUT! BILL GATES MURDERED!!!

Bloody hell! Who would have thought it. That man must have had one of the best business brains in the business. I know they won't see this but I wish his family well.

Are you sure this is true? There was something fishy about the site... 😮

I've just searched some other news sites (BBC, Ananova) and can't find this story, although they are pretty much all war, war, war.

I sent the link to somebody and it came out all different, ads and stuff. Scary, I agree but it's the link that's bothering me 😮

Nothing to do with the date then? :roll:

Should be tomorrow, not today 😃 But I guess you're right 😃

Old news, or better say old lies 😉

Don't believe everything you see on internet. Learn how to search reliable sources, for example Google News:

Ok, the kid's been kidding us, I admit, I was fooled 😮ops:

I read it, then posted, then looked at theregister.co.uk to see what they had written. Their lack of a piece sort of made me think it was sus.

This is such a fake!

This address http://cgrom.com/news/law/ only has Gatemurder in.

This address http://cgrom.com/news/ only has law directiry in.

And the address http://cgrom.com/ address has nothing on it about CNN!

Plus the lack of news elsewhere!

I think was a Aril Fool prank pulled by someone thinking March only has 30 days!

tsk tsk.....some of the greatest minds in symbian fandom, fooled by a guy with a cheap calendar. 😃
oh, the shame....*hands out head sized paperbags* 😃

You gotta admit you were fooled!!

Well you see, about the april fools thing 😮ops: I forgot that tomorrow was april fools 😮ops:

Just wanted to post a regular prank, but then i looked at the date this morning in class, and 😮 it's april fools!! Why did i post it early!!?! NO!! 😃

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates murdered at Los Angeles charity event

Suspect killed on the scene by LAPD

From staff and wire reports

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Microsoft Corp. Chairman William H. Gates
III was killed today in Los Angeles during an appearance at a charity event
held in MacArthur Park. Hit by two bullets believed to have been shot from
the adjacent Park Plaza Hotel, Gates was rushed by ambulance to nearby St.
Vincent Medical Center, where doctors declared him dead on arrival at 12:46
p.m. PST.

Police said a fleeing suspect identified as Alek Hidell was shot in the
basement of the hotel by an LAPD officer after allegedly wounding another
officer. Hidell died at County-USC Medical Center at 2:55 p.m. PST from
those wounds. Police identified the wounded officer, listed in critical
condition at St. Vincent Medical Center, as Tom Baker, who was deployed by
the LAPD's Rampart division as part of the security precautions for Mr.
Gates' unpublicized appearance. The officer who who shot Hidell, Jacob
Powell, was a recent recruit with six months experience on the LAPD, police
said.

Appearing before an audience of roughly 200 invited guests and journalists
to present a $100 million donation to local arts organization Arts 4 L.A.,
Mr. Gates was walking to the center of the band shell in MacArthur Park
with an oversized presentation check when two shots struck him in the
shoulder and chest.

A number of witnesses reported seeing a figure on the roof of the Park
Plaza Hotel fire the second shot at Mr. Gates. Other eyewitnesses reported
seeing a man flee the hotel and enter a nearby restaurant.

"Our investigation is still ongoing," announced LAPD Captain Jesse Day at a
press conference this afternoon, "but at present, all evidence points
towards Alek Hidell as the sole perpetrator of this crime."

Police continue to treat both the park and hotel as active crime scenes.

Lone gunman suspected, killed on scene

Suspect Alek Hidell was described by LAPD spokespeople as "probably a lone
gunman," although they stressed that the crime is currently under
investigation.
