Man Installing Satellite TV Shoots, Kills Wife
Patsy Long Died From Gunshot Wound To Chest

SEDALIA, Mo. -- Officials are trying to determine whether to file charges against a man who fatally shot his wife while trying to install a satellite television system in their home.

Patsy D. Long, 34, of Deep Water, was pronounced dead early Saturday evening after being shot in the chest with a .22-caliber handgun.

Pasty Long was standing outside the residence, helping her husband with the installation of a satellite television system. The couple's children were also outside.



According to sheriff's department spokesman Maj. Robert Hills, Ronald Long fired a shot from the inside of their home after several unsuccessful efforts to punch a hole through the exterior wall using other means.

Ronald Long told authorities that he fired a second shot, then called out his wife's name and the names of their two children. When he got no reply, he ran outside and found his wounded wife.

Pasty Long was hit by the second of two shots fired by Ronald Long, the Henry County Sheriff's Department said.

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," Hills said.

Hills described the family as being very "distraught."

Henry County Coroner Scott Largent declined to release details about Patsy Long's death until the Sheriff's Department completes its investigation.

HAHA natural selection at its finest.

Darwin Award, indeed.

[Sam_Adams]

Whatever happened to drill bits? You know, they DO make them for such purposes for going through external walls like brick with "masonry" bits.

Stupid dude.

[frankjg]

I think this was just a great way of getting out of off-ing his wife... he probably had an "x" taped to the ground for her to stand on.

Nah. This is one of those things that's so stupid it can only be real. It's hard for me to believe someone is smart enough to plan this out and be able to act the part infront of his family and police. But it's easy to believe someone was stupid enough to do it. Basically, if you're smart enough to plan the perfect crime you wouldn't plan this one. :icon_lol:

This belongs in Smokezilla's white trash thread.

[mikeybot]

Well, it was Missouri.

[weakside]

Too bad the bullet didn’t get the kids as well as they don’t have any hope of success with what they must have going on in their gene pools.

[poopiebottoms]

This is a perfect argument against the Second Amendment.

While it is every Americans right to bear arms, that means nothing stops morons like this from having them either.

[maz]

Hmmm

should i put my Makita hammer drill on Ebay now ?

i could use a little pocket money
and i have plenty of ammo

[LiddyRules]

This is a perfect argument against the Second Amendment.

While it is every Americans right to bear arms, that means nothing stops morons like this from having them either. If she's dumb enough to marry this moron, maybe it's better her being dead and not breeding more retarded children.

And against cars, alcohol, knives, bleach, hammers, ladders, dogs, ropes, cough medicine, glass, draino, etc.

It's only a perfect argument if the gun somehow causes his extraordinary stupidity.

Fuck do I love the internet for the manifestation of the 2nd Amendment! The NRA President had Alzheimer's, but smart people just bullshitting can refine an argument with enough weed. Oh shit! politics again!

[Hey_Asshole]

A hole from a .22 cal would not even have been big enough to run the coax through. He should have went with at least a 9mm...that would have been my choice for running coax cable.

Wimpy cunt:

AVONDALE, La. (AP) - Paul Prudhomme was setting up his cooking tent on the practice range at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans golf event when he felt a sting in his right arm, just above his elbow.

Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputies say Prudhomme shook his shirt sleeve and a .22 caliber bullet fell to the ground.

Deputies believe Prudhomme was hit by a falling bullet from somewhere within a 1 1/2-mile radius of the golf course.

Witnesses say the bullet cut Prudhomme's skin on his arm and put a hole in his white chef's coat. But Prudhomme continued cooking until he left the course.

Prudhomme was at the course to cook for players, their caddies and guests at the annual PGA Tour event, which begins tomorrow and runs through Sunday.

A rash of neck shooting incidents sweep the nation. Could your neck be next? We'll tell you at 11.

This happened near here a few days ago:

http://www.kpvi.com/Global/story.asp?S=8062495&nav=menu546_1
"A Lewisville man is recovering at Madison Memorial Monday evening after he was shot with a stray bullet while riding his four-wheeler.

The sheriff's office still does not know who fired the shot that grazed the neck of 31-year-old Nicholas Jeppesen but right now, they believe it was a terrible accident.

Sheriff Blair Olsen says Jeppesen and Kim Carlson were riding their four-wheelers across the desert Saturday afternoon about 4 miles west of Twin Buttes Road when they pulled over to let a vehicle to pass.

That is when Carlson noticed Jeppesen lying on the ground with a serious gunshot wound across his throat. "

And while googling for the story, I found this:

Gunman fires through wall, hits man's neck

A Jersey City man who was shot in the neck Monday night was rushed to the Jersey City Medical Center for surgery to have the bullet removed, officials said.

Just before 11 p.m., police arrived at the 49-year-old victim's Carteret Avenue home and found him kneeling with his face on a bed and bleeding from the right side of his neck, reports said.

He told the officers that he was in his apartment speaking to a man in the hallway through his partially opened apartment door when a third man wearing a ski mask and black clothing approached and fired at him.

Police found four bullet holes in the hallway outside the man's apartment and one "appeared to have gone through the door and entered (the victim's) neck," reports said.

Doctors at the JCMC determined the wound was not life-threatening and a hospital spokesman said he was released from the hospital.

And then I found this story:

Victim Update: Two victims have been treated for minor injuries and released from Augusta Medical Center. One victim was brought to AMC, the other drove himself. One of the victims was identified as a male from Swope area of Augusta County. The driver said he was headed home around midnight, traveling westbound on I-64. He noticed headlights from as stopped vehicle on one of the overpasses at the bottom of Afton Mountain near the rest area at mile marker 105. He says he glanced down to change the station on his radio. At that time he felt and heard the impact of what turned out to be a bullet passing through his windshield. The victim has a graze injury to his neck. It is not clear whether he was struck by the bullet or by debris from the windshield.

HE shoots, he scores!

No charges for man who killed wife in TV mishap
ASSOCIATED PRESS
04/09/2008

SEDALIA, Mo. -- Prosecutors are not expected to file charges against a Missouri man who fatally shot his wife while he was trying to install a satellite TV system in their home.

Henry County investigators ruled that Patsy Long's March 22 death was accidental. Her husband, Ronald Long, fired his .22 caliber pistol from inside their Deepwater home after he couldn't punch a hole through the exterior wall using other means.

The sheriff's office said the 34-year-old woman was hit in the chest by the second of two shots.

Henry County Prosecuting Attorney Richard Shields said his office does not expect to press charges.

It's pretty close.. RG-6 is .27" (6.858 mm) outside diameter. The bullet should flatten out enough from the sheetrock impact to make a hole that large in the sheathing and siding.
The 9mm is almost a third bigger. That'd let the bugs in.
