Must have had a big head and a very small brain.

Police say Terrence Moses kidnapped his ex-wife last Wednesday . . . Police say the ex-wife might've been trying to wrestle the gun away from Moses when he accidentally shot himself in the chest. As for the next four shots, they say he did those on his own.

I can understand how the ex-wife would see it that way, and I am glad that the police accept her account at face value. I'm just glad he didn't have to reload and shoot himself in the head six more times, although I would believe that story too with a kidnapping.

He kept saying, “Go DOWN, Moses!”

They heard a woman screaming and gunshots, then saw her coming down the stairs and RESCUED her.

i guess my definition of rescue and theirs, is vastly different...

Just for general knowledge: Never try suicide by shooting yourself under the chin. Knew of one case where a guy shot off half his face with a shotgun under his chin—he lived, but spent the rest of his life eating thru a tube in his stomach. Take it from an ex-cop: If you want to really do it “eat your gun”—ie, put barrel in mouth facing slightly upward.

Well, a friend of mine committed suicide by shooting himself in the head twice with a .22 rifle. Stuck the muzzle in his mouth and pulled trigger. When that didn't work, he pulled it again. Worked the second time. It was a real shock to us. We didn't know until afterwards that he'd been under considerable pressure a work.

This reminds me of the story on this forum some time ago where the Saudi man claimed his wife shot herself in the back of the head by accident. No charges were filed in that case either.

[CrazyIvan]

Sounds like he shot himself with a “duckfoot” pistol.

If true, Mr. Moses needed more range time. If not true, the people who found the body need more range time.

If at first you don’t succeed...

BS

After hours of negotiations, SOT members made entry. They heard a woman screaming and gunshots, then saw her coming down the stairs and rescued her.

Rescued her?

I would guess there was nothing left for her to be rescued from.

HORSE SHIT!

Definitely will want to see the coroner’s report on this one, but there ARE instances of suicides involving multiple headshots. I recall a story of a lawyer who shot himself 5 times in the head with a .38 while several horrified witnesses worked to force open the locked door to his office. The lawyer took an entire day to expire after his performance. Some brain structures are more vital than others, and some calibers are moe effective than others.
