"Why would he shoot a dead woman?"

I know, that never works. If you need to kill a dead woman, you should stake them, not shoot them.

Why would he shoot a dead woman?

It's the DailyMail. Apparently that's how the British tabloid press clears up the question as to whether it was a wounding shot or a lethal shot—they say "shot dead" where we would just say "shot 4, killing 1" or "shot a man, killing him."
