CLOWN FIGHT!!!

I've never been to the circus, but I always pictured it involving more juggling and trapezes and less gunplay:

A shootout between two German circus families competing over tent space has left six people injured, police said on Tuesday.

The disagreement came to a head on Monday evening as the families fired guns, used knives and attacked each other with batons, police in the Bavarian city of Regensburg said.

Thankfully, no unicycle-riding bears were injured during the course of the melee.
