Moving, holding, or cradling someone with a serious back injury is a very very bad idea. It could significantly exacerbate the injury. He reports the gun as being in/on the bed. I don't think there's any report stating that the gun was under the pillow or that a gun was kept regularly under...

You can hear her moaning in the background in the 911 call audio.

He claims to have been partially asleep at the time of the (supposedly) accidental shooting. On the call, it sounds like he's just counting wounds. Yes, he's the chief of police, but clearly not a very good one. He should also be able to safely have firearms around himself and his wife without...

He does sound somewhat detached on the phone, but he knows that being a wailing blubbering mess doesn't help the dispatcher figure out what should be done. First responders and others with similar jobs that deal with crises typically get the job done first and cry/scream/etc. about it later...

True, he doesn't say who was shot. But, as far as rolling EMS immediately, it doesn't matter. I see him giving the most relevant pieces of information necessary to get EMS to the scene immediately. With just his first phrase, the 911 dispatcher knows to roll EMS, that they can enter without...

The first thing he says to the 911 operator is: Gunshot wound, accidental, need medical ASAP. He describes the nature of the problem (GSW). That it was accidental, to show that there is no threat to first responders (i.e., don't send SWAT, no threat to entering EMS). And that they need EMS...

He's probably getting the maximum amount of benefit of the doubt about the whole incident. Also, if his wife is conscious, she might have asked for him (and/or corroborated his story). Finally, unless he's utterly insane, he wouldn't try to harm her in the hospital room, as it's a heavily...

On the 911 call, the dispatcher mentions that she was shot in the back and side. Not sure where she got the information, but he says yes to that and to the fact that she's been shot twice. I'm surmising that if there was only one shot (per GBI) then the only way to get two wounds would be an...

It sounds like he thought he'd shot her twice due to the entrance and exit wounds.

His service Glock does not have a hammer. It's a striker fired pistol which uses a spring to propel the firing pin. Racking the slide partially compresses the spring (and chambers the round). Pulling the trigger fully compresses the spring then releases the firing pin. There is no other way to...

A few points about this: 1) She was shot with his service weapon, a Glock 17 semi-automatic ( http://www.ajc.com/news/news/peachtree-city-police-chiefs-wife-shot-and-critica/njdy2/ ). An accidental discharge is not out of the question, since Glocks don't have a traditional safety switch as on...

The community being heavily patrolled is good against random stranger crime like muggings, but doesn't do much for domestic violence situations or accidental shooting (whichever this turns out to be).

Casey Anthony and OJ (the first time) weren't convicted either. And it's long past the time that a representative of the Roman Catholic Church can be counted on to tell the truth.

I work in a "research setting" at a university. Yet there is no cyanide in the entire building I work in, nor would I have any idea how to get it. In this specific context, there may have been cyanide in the medical research labs that the victim and her husband worked in, but just because...

1) A friend of mine worked with her and there is simply no way this is a suicide. Her personality, demeanor, and actions beforehand in no way point towards suicide. 2) That a doctor might choose to commit suicide by cyanide is ludicrous. She had easy access to dozens of other drugs that...
