Uh...three .40 caliber shots to the head by his own hand? The BS meter is pegging out here in Idaho.
First two were warning shots.
Weard.
First two were grazing shots — guy didn’t want to do it and took some time to get up the nerve.
Local reports say he had spent some time that day talking with the police chief and prosecutors via phone to find out what would happen to him when/if captured. Seems consistent with a “snap” rage case and not premeditation.
Set for a 3-round burst?
We have a guy (from MA, iirc) awaiting trial here in VT, that killed a few people over his former girlfriend, including her mother, and shot himself twice in the head as the police were closing in.
I'm pretty sure he was arraigned the next morning, in court, albeit in a wheelchair.
Just when ya think the MSM cow crap can’t get any deeper.....:o)
Try three to the torso with a 30-06.
He came into ICU still alive. For the third shot, he tried a different firing method, that reduced the twist & flinch that caused the first two to ‘just’ give peripheral wounds. Third was a gut shot, that had been intended for the chest. It was a bolt action, and he had to get up out of his easy chair TWICE to reload & reset.
That was about 15-20 years ago, so I don’t remember for certain if he survived or not; but I don’t believe he did.
Gotta love motivated, dedicated, ‘can-do’ people, who practice, and keep trying, until they get it right!
Maybe he was behind on his qualifications on the range.
