Been MANY moons siince I had time/inclination to post, but here’s the thing that keeps me awake with this story:
#1 Reported that there were three rounds fired.
#2 Shotgun was in possession struggle.
#3 No details on type of shotgun.
#4 Without INTENTIONAL re-chambering action, Neither a pump nor a side-by-side or over-under version could have fired a third shot.
#5 CONCLUSION, unless the gun was a semi-auto, the implication is that for at least the third shot, INTENT was involved.
Naturally, if the round count report I heard was incorrect, then my analysis is meaningless.
It has been reported the gun was semiautomatic.
MY PUMP action shotgun hold 7 rounds. IT has NOT ever been modified.
Don’t know what kind of pump shotgun you are referring to.
