Ok what is ratholing chips?

When you are up and take some of your chips off the table to prevent ourself from losing it, sort of like partially cashing out, to reduce you risk. It's something only amateur players do, mostly when they think they are likely to lose because the table plays better than them.

I have done this several times (sometimes inadvertently, like when i put some cash into my pocket)...surely this is not a capital offense. This news story is very murky: who was the shooter? Who was the victim? Were they the same person? Was the dead guy shot by the cops? What instigated this whole thing?
