Remember when your father taught you not to use a screwdriver to drive a nail? Not to use a knife to turn a screw? Use the wrong tool, and you are likely to damage something--maybe yourself. Here's yet another example of "use the wrong tool, someone gets hurt." It almost reads like a redneck joke. From the April 9, 2008 St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
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.If someone later establishes that it didn't really happen this way, I won't be surprised.
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.
