Utah Man Shoots At Mouse, Misses, Hits Roommate, Then Gets Another Roommate Arrested For Rape

VIDEO
» 41 comments

Paul Daniel Klunzer‘s four-month relationship with a 13 year-old girl ended like many of these illegal relationships do: with his roommate shooting at a mouse with a handgun, missing, hitting a third roommate in the chest, and having police find the girl hiding in a closet in the course of the investigation.

Police called to the house to investigate the shooting — the bullet went through the kitchen wall and hit the roommate while he was in the bathroom — somehow ended up in the basement, where they discovered a 13 year-old girl hiding in a closet. Klunzer, according to KSL in Utah, had carried on a four-month relationship with the girl, and was charged with two counts of rape of a child, three counts of sodomy of a child, and three counts of sexual abuse of a child.

The roommate who fired the gun was not charged with any crime, and the roommate who was shot was upgraded from serious to fair condition.

Amazingly, there was a fourth roommate, Zach Baker, living in the house, who slept through the shooting and was oblivious to Klunzer’s relationship. “I got woken up by the cops,” he told Utah’s Fox 13. “They came storming in my room, checking to make sure everybody was OK and nobody was shot or anything like that.”

Baker, a quote machine, added that he had never seen the girl before and had no clue how long she was there. “They said she’d been hiding in a closet,” he told Fox, “and that creeps me out.” And when Fox 13 asked about Kunzler as a roommate? “I knew the guy was weird, but I didn’t expect anything like that to happen.”

    Must be the norm in Utah.

    I used to think exactly as you do, used to look up the statistics on just how many people died each year from handguns…  etc, but I also thought deeply on how you would remove guns from our society and realized that in so doing the only thing that we would accomplish is disarming law abiding citizens while leaving criminals armed.  I really have a distaste for handguns as their only purpose is for the taking of human life, how can we have laws that make marijuana illegal yet allow people to own machines whose specific purpose is the taking of another’s life I would ask…  

    But the reality is is that guns are here to stay and any attempt to get rid of them only serves to strengthen any advantage criminals may have over their law abiding peers.

    i kind of agree..
    i had guns most of my life..
    we actually used to take guns to school when it was ok.
    i always has a high powered rifle and a pump 12 guage in the window..
    can you imagine that now?
    i just think liberal need to stop being so freaked on the left and conservatives need to get out of the pockets of the NRA and weapons manufacturers..
    we just need smart laws and stop with the crazy crap on both sides

    I think we’re seeing a future leader of the state Republican party in Klunzer; he has everything they look for. Keep track of the name; expect some claim of a ‘Come to Jeebus’ rebirth, & a Tea Party endorsement.

  • Hout Bosques

    You’re so right  - it’s just Mormon-LIKE.

  • Hout Bosques

    Yeah, to Republicans child rape is no laughing matter; it’s deadly serious. Just go ask them in College Park, Pennslyvania.

    If wealth is the criteria, they have helped their family and friends to billions of dollars in bribes (campaign contributions lol), perks, etc.  They have formed an alliance with corporations and the wealthy that is most reminiscent of the National Socialists who were not in the least socialist.  Hitler had a grand revolution and the Republicans have already been bought by NRA, Right Wing Conservatives, Corporations who are now “people.”  They even have the balls of the SCOTUS Gang of Five in their hands.

    a looney if they didn’t use a gun they would just use another weapon. Maybe a explosive device????

    hey realjoe, if you want to know how many times guns have saved lives then I would suggest you survey the 100′s of thousands of police officers in all 50 states. Be a good starting place.

    This is what happens when a liberal moron has a gun and a dick.
    If he’s not shooting his roommate…he’s porking a minor.
    What loathsome, despicable, pathetic creatures they are.

  • Anonymous

    that is so clever…
    that is like asking how athiest and Muslims have greatly affect our lives by all of the great things they have done..therefore all athiest and muslims are good????
    i am glad we are in agreement..
    i love guns and YOU love muslims and athiests..
    unless your logic is lopsided? and you do not agree with your own bullshit?
    but I am sure that is not the case..

    Kunzler (not Klunzer, as Nando di Dyslexic calls him) is a well-known Mormon name. Google the name with “Mormon” or “LDS church.”

    If I have to tell you about Mormon men molesting 13 year old girls, you must be in a coma.

    This sounds like a story of Liberals to you? One roommate wants to solve a problem with a gun. Another roommate has an illicit, illegal sexual relationship that involves a closet. A third roommate is oblivious to all the harm and damage being done to the environment he lives in. Liberal?? This has got Republican written all over it!!

    Remember the name, NANDO DI FINO:  He’s the writer of the above piece, and has to be one of the more interesting newswriters I’ve read in some time.

    The tiebreaker: This is in Utah=Republican

  • Pit Boss

    I’ve met a lot of Mormons living here in the East Valley (Phoenix metro area). I’ve yet to meet one that isn’t a Republican. Some are moderate, but all are Republicans.
