January 22, 2003

Guy Einer McClure drank whiskey throughout his eight-hour standoff with police and believed he was bleeding to death from a gunshot wound to the face.

His fiancee had shot him with a .44-caliber Magnum during a drunken dispute in their Creswell trailer and he wanted to die, he told a 911 dispatcher shortly before 9 p.m. last Friday.

Sounds like suicide by cop.

It's a wonder he didn't just pass out.

Kind of hard to believe.

A .44 Mag would do more than just make you bleed.

Unless it was just a flesh wound.

I shoot 240 grain semi-wad cutters all the time.

They'll disintegrate most hard surfaces they hit.

I have to believe a human head would be no different.

[Dead Dog]

Either that or a Jelly Donut Jihad.

He was in his trailer, by himself, the victem of a shooting, not the perpetrator.
He asked to be left alone.
The SWAT Team surrounded him, gassed him and killed him when he shot at them because they would not leave him alone.

Anyone see a rational probable cause for the police not just going away and leaving him alone.

Attempted suicide? Whew! That looks like a damned good attempt.

[ibbryn]

Hey a*hole, how about a little warning. Better yet, post the link, not the pic, if you feel you must share.

[Dead Dog]

I think you can pretty much take a profile shot from nose to spine without hitting anything too vital.

This guy must have taken a grazing shot. If he drank wiskey, talked and bled for 8 hours before waisting the cop's time an ammo, I would guess he was closer to dieing from an infection than anything else.

[ShadowAce]

That is totally uncalled for

[Conservababe]

Oh goodness gracious. I worked on several patients such as this. They seemed to think putting the gun under their chin was a good idea. Not!

Thery were there to help him. He might have slowly bled to death otherwise.

I knew a guy in Denver that did this with a .41 magnum. Blew his jaw and most of his lower face off but, otherwise, not much damage to the head. Oh Boy, was he ever ugly after that!

Most of the officers used 9 mm bullets because they don't travel as fast and are less likely to pass through a target and strike a bystander, Kerns said

I always wondered why they used them.
Crafty.

One guy with a cell phone and EMS on standby.

Comiserate, whine a little about you having been ordered to stay there, even though you know he'd rather be left alone. He is miserable, his fiancee obviously broke things off in a big way (sheesh! She shot him!). Get him drunk, work your way in with a bottle and 'get drunk with him'. Whether blood loss or the booze, you'll have him in the ER (out cold, but alive) by morning.

More force is not the answer.

Heck.. What was the 'date rape drug'? Slip him a mickey....

No need to kill the poor slob. I suppose the fiancee can sue now?

[Abcdefg]

Try shooting a goat in the head with that. Nothing much happens except holes punched thru and eyeballs flying out. Won't even knock 'em off their feet if you don't hit that pea sized brain.

[xm177e2]

Any size caliber can graze someone and not completely kill them, even with a headshot. Shot placement matters.
