A woman appears to have accidentally fatally shot herself in the head with a gun bought to prepare for possible Ferguson-related unrest, according to sources briefed on the police investigation.
The shooting occurred Friday night in downtown St. Louis, the city’s Metropolitan Police Department said, in an area dominated by vacant lots beside a football stadium.
The female victim, identified in a police report as Becca Campbell, 26, was a passenger in a car involved in an auto accident. Her 33-year-old boyfriend was driving, the sources told CNN.
The boyfriend, who wasn’t identified, told police that the couple had bought a gun because of fears of unrest related to the pending grand jury decision on the shooting of Michael Brown, the sources said.
He told investigators that as they drove late Friday night, the victim waved a gun, jokingly saying the couple were ready for Ferguson, the sources said.
He ducked to get out of the way of the gun and accidentally rear-ended another car. He said the accident caused the gun to go off and she was struck by a bullet in the head, the sources said.

ReplyDeleteSays the boyfriend? I would wait for the CSI investigation to explain just how that might have happened.
ReplyDeleteThese are the types of incidents involving complete idiots which are used by gun grabbers to try and justify taking guns from the people who arent idiots and handle guns safely and for protection.
ReplyDeleteMorons deserve to die by their own devices.... if you are stupid enough to think waving around a pistol while driving, when there is no threat to you or anyone near you, is a good idea... you deserve the bullet you delivered to your own head, and I have no sympathy for your stupidity. A gun is a TOOL.... just like a chainsaw.... do you buy a chainsaw to wave around and intimidate people who pose no current threat out of a car? NO, because that would be STUPID... just like this dumbass proved. NO SYMPATHY FOR STUPID.
ReplyDeleteThis is not about race. It's about police use of excessive force.

"and leave the rest of the world in peace"
ReplyDeleteThat's what they said about the British in the 1900's, and two world wars later...?
I always have troubled believing that somebody lacks the sense to avoid playing with a gun for any reason. I am always stunned when somebody is really lax with power saws or shop drills. They cut off their hand or drill a hole through their head because they thought it was an appropriate time to kid around. These are all dangerous tools you never, ever kid around with.
