OK, one more try. Yes you can shoot a lot in 15 minutes. It is still STUPID to do so on the main road when you do not know when the cop is coming by.
It WAS a police officer.
I do NOT mean this as a joke but this is only a 65,000 person town and we don't have a bad side.
Doesn't it sound kind of strange the location where he allegedly shot himself? To just pull into the turning lane, stop and shoot himself?
I've been around one who shot himself while in his bedroom, one in his bathroom, one outside on his porch during an argument with his wife...but never any place as strange as this guy was supposed to have shot himself.
