NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -

The preliminary investigation into a fatal shooting near Fisk University on Thursday night reveals the incident may have been in self-defense.

Police said Deverya Rose, 23, admitted to shooting her boyfriend Christopher T. Sims, 25, at an apartment on Blank Street.

Rose told police she and Sims were involved in a violent altercation during which, she said, Sims put a gun to her head and grabbed her by the hair. Rose said while pushing her head to the floor, Sims laid the gun down. She picked the gun up and fired it, hitting Sims in the chest. He died at the residence.

“while pushing her head to the floor”

Learned that from Trayvon.

Didn’t work out for this POS either.

She probably lives in a rented apartment.

There is one upset landlord out there.

” Sims put a gun to her head and grabbed her by the hair. Rose said while pushing her head to the floor, Sims laid the gun down. “

If you pull a gun on someone, It is probably a good idea to use it, rather than lay it on the floor, next to the intended victim for future use. Oh well, all’s well that ends well. Darwin Award candidate?

Contrary to the otherwise universal principle, innocent until proven guilty,dead men can't prove they're innocence.

If I was a woman who wanted to kill her boyfriend, the first thing I’d do after killing him would be to concoct a tissue of lies about being beaten up or threatened by him beforehand. Not saying thats what definately happened in this case, but we should be aware of the possibility...
