Man Shoots Wife Dead Trying To Install TV
Updated:11:45, Thursday March 27, 2008
A man who tried to use a gun to install a satellite television system
ended up shooting his wife dead by accident.
The correct way to install dish
Ronald Long tried to make a hole in the exterior wall of his house in
Missouri, US, to install the dish for the system.
After several unsuccessful attempts, he got a .22-calibre handgun and
blasted two holes in the wall.
The second bullet hit his wife, Patsy, in the chest, fatally wounding her.
She was standing outside the house at the time, but Long reportedly
thought she was inside.
Officials are now trying to determine whether to file charges against him.
Sheriff's Department spokesman Major Robert Hills said a person involved
in such a case normally would be charged with manslaughter, but that was
up to the prosecutor.
"Once we complete a diagram of the incident, we will be submitting
everything to the prosecuting attorney and let him decide if he wants to
press criminal charges," he said.
