From Raw Story:
A woman in Arizona has told police that she accidentally killed her
husband with his own shotgun after he insisted that she pick it up even
though she told him she was uncomfortable around guns.
The Daily Courier reported
that Prescott Valley police responded to reports of a shooting on
Gentle Winds Road Monday afternoon, where 56-year-old Gary Wingate was
pronounced dead at the scene.
In a statement, the Prescott Valley Police Department said that
Wingate’s 54-year-old wife had not been comfortable around firearms, but
he asked her to pick up his 12-guage shotgun and hand it to him anyway. The weapon discharged while she was in the process of handing it to
him, striking him in the upper torso.
“It seems like they meant to take [the shotgun] out this weekend on a
trip and he wanted her to get more familiar with it,” Sgt. Brandon
Bonney explained.
