BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - It wasn't exactly pistols at 30 paces, but police say a security company supervisor and a restaurateur shot each other with Tasers in a "bonehead'' confrontation over parking.

Officers said neither man needed medical attention after the Saturday confrontation, but Harvey Epstein, co-owner of Mamacitas restaurant, was arrested on suspicion of felony menacing and using a stun gun.

Epstein, 36, didn't immediately respond to messages seeking comment left at the restaurant and his Longmont home Sunday by The Associated Press.

A police report said Epstein and Casey M. Dane, a supervisor for Colorado Security Services Inc., were arguing over a metal boot that one of Dane's guards had clamped on a wheel of a van parked behind Mamacitas.

Dane told police he was afraid Epstein was going to hit him with a 2-foot-long pair of bolt cutters. Epstein told police he had only tried to remove the boot with the bolt cutters and hadn't threatened anyone with them.

Epstein told police Dane put his hand on a holstered pistol and threatened to shoot him. Dane told The Associated Press by telephone that he did put his hand on the holstered pistol but never threatened to shoot Epstein.

Both men drew Tasers.

"They shot each other,'' Police Sgt. Pat Wyton told the Camera newspaper. "It was just kind of a bonehead deal.''

The guard claimed the van, owned by a Mamacitas employee, was on property he was hired to patrol. The van owner denied that.

haha thats awsome,,,,i just have this vision of both of them frying like bacon on the ground both pressing the button to shock the other one hahaha,,,i would hve paid good money to see that

The good, the bad and the stupid.

A shocking story!

Bet that this will start a trend where creeple have shootouts with Tazers ... I can see them on youtube now.

The scary part is there are armed security guards. Make you wonder

I'm a bit disappointed, the topic title made me think of them having some kind of taser endurance competition where the winner gets the parking spot.

Haha, I invisioned that too. Flopping like fishes.



Now that would of been a sight to see. Haha

Man. I wonder if western music was playing at the time. I could see it now women grabing thier kids and running away. A bit of tumble weed blows across a parking spot. Somewhere in the distance a dog barks.

and if either one of them are as hard headed as me,,after getting shocked look at the other guy and say you s.o.b. you shocked me and me hitting the button again,to shock him,,,him doing the same thing haha repeatedily untill the batteeries go dead..

makes you wonder .. a lot !!

For some reason Taser stories always entertain me... this has got to be one of the most entertaining ones yet.

Can't help but laugh. At least the police didn't wind up struggling with them xD
