Police: Python escaped cage inside apartment, not store
The African rock python that killed two young New Brunswick brothers escaped from its floor-to-ceiling glass cage in the apartment where the boys were sleeping, not from the exotic pet store below, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Tuesday.
The snake, which was about 16 feet long and weighed 100 pounds, apparently entered a ceiling vent sometime late Sunday or early Monday and slithered through the ducts before crashing into the store owner's living room, where 4-year-old Noah Barthe and 6-year-old Connor Barthe were sleeping, police said at a news briefing. The son of store owner Jean-Claude Savoie was asleep in another room and not harmed......

This story totally creeps me out. WTF would anybody keep a snake like that in a home with two little kids. My kids are close in age and I don't even like having guns in the house, and a gun cannot freaking go crawling across the floor and kill anyone. There have been enough stories of these things freaking escaping that any parent should know to get the freaking thing out of their home if they have kids.
