Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies answered a 911 call in Tampa Friday night. When they arrived at the couple’s apartment, they found Robin Martin suffering from a gunshot wound to her stomach. She is listed in stable condition.
Oscar Dean told authorities he was cleaning his revolver when one round discharged.
Full story. (h/t Fark)
Uh…. given the way a revolver works, given the fact there’s no reason ammunition should be around when cleaning a gun, given the only way to make a gun go bang is to press the trigger… uh… cleaning? Methinks the story stinks.
Sure, all we have to go on is what the article reports, but still… it doesn’t add up.
Stuff From Hsoi 
Thinking attempted, botched suicide, or foul play by a relative/significant other that he doesn’t want to get into trouble? 😉
Or a failed attempt to recreate William Tell….. 🙂
Oh, wait… I totally missed that it was a couple, somehow… LOL…
Yeah, I can think of way fishier stuff with that realization…
Of course, the “miss” is about right for an inexperienced revo shooter to be trying to shoot an apple off someone else’s head, I suppose… 😉
