Who shot Santa?
The jolly fella in the big red suit apparently took a bullet this week in a drive-by shooting.
Jo Bridgman, owner of the I Love Christmas shop, arrived at her central Christchurch shop to discover not only did her window have a bullet hole through it – but so did Santa. His porcelain face has been shattered.
She had no idea who the mysterious assassin was. But she did wonder whether "it's someone with a deep-seated issue who didn't get what they wanted last Christmas"
The thick glass shop window appeared to have been pierced by some kind of bullet, but Bridgman was unable to find the ammunition. She said shooting Santa at the shop on the junction of Manchester and Tuam streets was sacrilege.
