This could only happen in America:

I loved the commentator's take on this on the BBC News Channel - "he's been a detective for [x] years, somewhere along the way he's clearly lost his sense of humour...."

True, but in my experience snowball fights often turn a bit nasty in the end. Not nasty enough to require a gun, no, but as the excitement builds up, someone always takes it too far and ends up belting a hard packed icy ball into somebody's face at close range, and then the fun starts to go out of it.
