TBO. You have killed your wife. You are in a hurry to die because the cops are getting close and you (a trained marine) can't/won't hold them off. Instead of grabbing your pistol (Yes reports said he also had a pistol) and shooting yourself you shoot yourself in the chest with a rifle. . . . . . . THINK ABOUT IT.

I don't know what the REAL version of the story is, but I would bet the shirt off my back THIS AINT IT.

HAD he placed it under his chin TBO then YES I would have thought maybe, just maybe this might not be complete BS. He DIDN"T He shot himself in the chest with a rifle. WHY? He has a handgun at hand and even if he wants to off himself with the same gun he offed his wife with for some messed up mental reason WHY the chest? Hell being a trained marine he would have known he could have even caught the artery in the leg, or blown off a foot and bled out. With a pistol at hand, and so many other ways to off himself he picks the hardest one to do quickly? BS. AND since there has been no mention of NO stick pencil etc AND he had his boots/shoes on (that much I saw from the photos of them disembarking the chopper with the body) that means he had to have held it at arms length and pushed the trigger, OR placed the butt on the floor and pushed the trigger with his chest into the muzzle. I don't know if they found him with the gun in hand, but if he held it out and tried it even if he suceeded the gun would be across the room from the recoil.

Like I said this whole thing stinks of BS to me. But what do I know. I am sure in a few days the "facts" of how he managed to rig it will come out and it will be just another sad sad story.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
