A Troy man is accused of firing a gunshot at a man he found in bed with his wife early Wednesday, after the woman met the stranger on a late-night bike ride, police said.
Troy police say the 30-year-old mother of five children, ages 1-14, went for a bike ride at 4 a.m. Wednesday. She met a 30-year-old man walking down the street and invited the man back to her house for sex, reports said.
The man agreed, and they fell asleep afterward, police said. The husband returned at 5 a.m. and discovered the stranger in his bed, according to reports.
A confrontation ensued, and the husband retrieved his .45-caliber handgun, reports said. The stranger ran from the home in his underwear, leaving his cell phone, wallet and identification behind.
The husband chased him as he ran, firing one shot in the process, police said. The bullet struck the kitchen wall and ended up in a cupboard.
The other man escaped, but police later located and shot in the process, police said. The bullet struck the kitchen wall and ended up in a cupboard.
The other man escaped, but police later located and questioned him, reports said. The investigation is continuing.
That is a pretty weird and strange story. Thanks.
I suggest that you be careful with the shoving or jamming or you will take the pistol out of battery and have a fail to fire. One of my men did that in the heat of combat after being shot. He thought his pistol was defective so he pulled his backup and did the job.
Guru says: “If carrying a ‘mouse gun’ comforts you, do so. But do not load it. For if you load it, you may find reason to fire it. And if you fire it, you may strike someone, and thus annoy them and give them reason to cause you great harm.”

Bingo. Given the vows and circumstances, there is no other logical conclusion to arrive at.
What strikes me as odd is that, while the .25 is not so hot, the .22 has a reputation as deadly. First, at close range, it was good enough for a team of mafia killers (also a racist serial killer).
But its real secret is that for some weird reason, the .22 round has a knack for nicking internal organs just enough to cause lethal peritonitis. The victim will seem to be getting better, then a few days later will develop a very high temperature that no amount of antibiotic will quell, and dies.
