First off none of you know what your talking about and since i was there i do believe i know more than you. Im patsys' daughter and that would be my father.....cant any of you read? He did try drilling a hole in the wall and the reason he was doing it himself was because we had just added on a room to the house. There for the conpany could not instale it since we had not just subscribed to the company we have had the service for years. And for those of you who are woundering he never got charged with anything. Dont any of you even think about what the kids are going threw. How do you think they would have taken it, just losing there mom and then there dad when he was not guilty.

O and lets not forget how stupid it is that all of you waste your time on here talking about something you dont know anything about since you where not there.

Satellite dishes don't kill people. Remotes kill people.

I probably have read more books than you have seen much less read without moving your lips. See Dick talk like one.

Julie, I beg to differ who is the simpleton, whether or not he was inferring himself or not it is still derogatory remark and offensive. You showed that you are childish and simple minded by resorting to childish name calling. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Larry Goodrie. Genius and social commentator.

I can't believe you're serious about what you wrote. Instead of reading this crap and writing your insignificant comment you should go back to school or read a frickin book. It's morons like you that burden this country.

Why are so many of you criticizing each other? I thought these comments were supposed to be about the story, not abusing the intellect of one another. That being said, I don't think the wife was the idiot for getting shot. The husband should at least be charged with unlawfully discharging his firearm. Then he should be sent to the looney bin for trying. But you can't blame him for not being Superman. After all, not everyone has x-ray vision. :)

umm... WHAT THE BLANK?! he tried to make a hole in the wall... with a GUN?! why the blank did she marry him.. did he have brains when he said i do... and did she know he was stupid? he should be crimed..but jury well prolly see him mentaly ill.. and walk

Accidents happen but being stupid is another?! Why would you use a gun to put a hole in a wall on purpose?? come on, but as for using this for thier own personal agenda come on IRAQ that is a personal agenda, this incident was not about that and had nothing to do with that besides if they didn't want comments they you wouldn't be allowed to put them down. Life isn't always FAIR to anyone,

Apparently you are missing your own point. You spent the time to read all of the discussion about the idiot who shot his wife, so why don't you cut back on the moaning about people venting on the stupidity of apparently the average American. If you want to concentrate on more important issues that's your prerogative, but don't impune strangers for exercising their own freedom to engage in a public forum and discuss things for which you don't feel are worth the time.

All of you seriously need to get a life. I just realized I wasted 20 minutes of my time reading your childish back-and-forth comments about being offended, completely missing the story, and trying to cast the "spotlight" on yourselves and your petty arguments. Get a job or something. And if you have such an itch to chat and make fun of someone dying get on myspace! I'm in the military and I lose my brothers and sisters everyday because someone in the big chair is too prideful to call it quits and bring us back home. Focus on the real issues americans...

I was reading some of the comments from the public on this story and wow... How can a adult man not be charged with the crime? Was he mentally challenged? But.... my question is if he is not charged will he beable to hold a firearm in his possestion legally? Even for hunting will he not know what 2 shoot or mistake a human 4 a animal? As a mother my son in 2006 got shot in the head by another child and passed away and nothing was done about it. But this was a adult!!! I say punish him he is a grown man he should have known right from wrong....

"Officials to decide"?
Nancy Drew....where are you?

Is this an episode for 'Tim the Toolman'?

"Would think this will cause the satelliate companies to include in their installation manuals - DO NOT USE FIREARMS TO PROVIDE HOLES FOR CABLES."

What does he use to do plumbing, a shotgun???

Amy,

"My Error." is not a complete sentence. If we are going to correct people for capitalization and spelling, then it just makes good "3rd grade" sense to correct them for proper composition grammar, too.

I will, though, agree with you that beer is surely to blame for this shooting.

some people are just not qualified to be DYI's - he obviously wasn't checked out on power tools.
Would think this will cause the satelliate companies to include in their installation manuals - DO NOT USE FIREARMS TO PROVIDE HOLES FOR CABLES -

My error. I was under the impression he used the gun as a hammer instead of "punching a hole in the wall for a cable." That makes this story even better. Is anyone wondering why the wife thought it was a wonderful idea to stand anywhere near the area as it fired?? And in agreement with many before, why not rent a drill or buy the cable when they throw in the installation for free as a special?!?! The longer I sit & think about it, the more I am wondering if whether this is an accidental death insurance claim scheme for their children (how nice) or if they were on the rocks. I have had people I seriously would have liked to throw to the sows, but come on. And I'm not trying to "make it up and fit the story to my own crazy mind"-- I'm trying to be a realist. The prosecutor has a lot on his side so far...

First off, for those of you that didn't make it past 3rd grade for spelling... buzz off. It's NOT that hard to use caps and read what you write before you post. It's not a race against time here people. I can find spelling errors in almost all of the posts. But a combination of missing words & not using caps...Not naming names here or anything, but Don Smith was quite a gem. I couldn't stand to read further after that.

I would love to agree with Mr. Aquaintance. However, I think Mr. Aquaintance is stuck on the wedding photos and first few weeks we all have in our relationships. Who DOESN'T want to kill their spouse/parents/etc. after a while?! I must hand it to the guy... it could almost be an accident. And I don't blame him in the least. If she was that looney to go back OUT where he was firing a gun... well, enough said there. Personally, I'd be calling the psych ward if my boyfriend/husband/friend grabbed a gun to use as a hammer. And checking for bullets in the chamber may have been something I think my 5 year old nephew would know to do?

Blaming schools & other people doesn't even come CLOSE to this scenario. Both of them obviously needed help. And that's not funny. That's not mean. That's the truth, and it's sad. I feel for the both of them.

why not use a hammer, a screw driver..you know, something that doesnt fire a (in this case) fatal projectile into someone elses chest!!!! I guess he really wanted to watch TV, I wonder.... If he was dumb enough to shoot a hole through a wall and kill his wife, if he finished installing the satellite dish.....?? hahahahahahahaha

YOU ARE A COMPLETE IDIOT!!!!!
(complete with satellite TV!!..hahaha)

No one called anyone else an Indian. Dipak Desai was referring to him/herself. Hence the "question FROM" not "question FOR" in that post. But good job on proving yourself 'simple.' Looks like no one has to actually go to the trouble of TRYING to make you look stupid. Next time, I'd suggest reading the post before jumping to paranoid conclusions. :)

Canada sucks, but you're right, that Larry guy is pretty special... hey larry, how do you feel about the Washington Redskins? Get over it buddy

I wonder if the man was watching TV when the paramedics arrived...

I am appalled at this story. I heard on the evening news the police in Sadelia said they were not going to charge this man. Now come on, we all know deep down this was NO accident. Why would he ask the wife to go outside to see if the second shot goes through alright? No one will ever convince me that this was an accident. NO ONE!! I don’t care how well “An Acquaintance, Missouri” says he knows the family. Were you there during every argument the couple had? You never know a person until you live with them and then you don’t really know them. Mrs. Long is a great example of that. Did she ever think her husband would ever in a million years shoot he, of course not.” I cannot believe she went along with what the husband asked her to do. If I knew my husband was going to use a gun instead of a drill to punch a hole in the wall I would be miles away. She must have really trusted him or he was a wife abuser and she did everything he asked her to do. Whether you believe it or not, there are a lot of women out there like that. He didn’t do a very good job of making it look like an accident when he had to shoot twice to kill her. Come on, who in their right mind believes that? There is not a married couple in the world that has not had arguments and this argument went too far. If nothing else he should be locked up for life for stupidity. How dare he think the intelligent people of this country believe him? I feel so sorry for the children. I hope they weren’t home at the time. How do you tell your kids, “Hey, I just shot your mother.” I would say arrest him, lock him up and when he goes to trial get an intelligent jury and they will put him away for life. Oh, and move the trial out of Sadelia. I can see there are too many people there who believe this ridiculous story. May God bless his children.

What's amazing to me is that there are people who still don't believe in evolution.

First of all, I've never heard of a dish/cable company who doesn't install for you.
Second of all, this story just proves the fact further that guns kept in homes more often hurt and kill their own family rather than people intruding.
Third, what he gets is what he deserves. He took another life, regardless of motive or lack thereof. Jail time would be sufficient. Life sentencing isn't necessary, but a couple months to a year or so couldn't hurt anyone. The jury might have sympathy, but the facts are the facts. Reckless endangerment, manslaughter/murder, whichever they are trying him for.

People kill other people all the time on accident. I understand they were happily married? but this case is no difference. Everyone experiences grief when they accidentally kill someone.

Put this wizard in jail--do not pass go--save the rest of the community--its my understanding he was digging a new well in his backyard and had called for an airstrike.

I have read several comments asking that this individual not be judged or that it was an error in judgment. Someone who's judgment is THIS impaired should be kept away from society. Even here in California, stupidity on this grand a scale would be punished and a jury in CA let O.J. go!

Makes me wonder if this guy and his wife got into a fight over hooking the cable up.

Well, isn't this appalling. The commentary section affords a more interesting read than the main story. I think y'all should just shut-up and save us the space occupied by your irrelevant comments. I don't think anyone of you is doing anyone, especially the victim any good, by posting comic, self righteous, idiotic comments on this rather tragic story. Details are lacking as to how it actually happened. It is truly STUPID for anyone to fill-in the gaps in the report to suite their intended myopic comments. Stop compounding the dumbness of this incident by keeping your silly comments to yourself.

LMAO WOW
You took offence to what Dipak said? He was calling himself an Indian.. as in he's from India... LOL hahaha, I'm still not done laughing at your stupidity!! HAHAHAHA

I was not there when this happened and niether was anyone else(as far as I know)making comments.

If this was truly an accident, the man must be devistated. It was an icredibly stupid act. He will have to live w/this the rest of his life.

If this WAS an accident, albeit a very preventable and stupid act, then I don't understand why so many people want him locked up.

If it was an accident, what purpose would be served by locking him up?

Prison won't make him any smarter and we the people will foot the bill.

Clearly the best reason yet to not marry your cousin. Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot!

What do you mean by simple Indian? Are you suggesting that he must be a minority becuase only minorities would be dumb enough to do somthing like this? I am a RED Indian or native american and that remark struck me as being as insulting as the term redskin. Think before you speak.

are you kidding me? it doesnt get much dumber than that. He should go to jail for a long time.... HE KILLED SOMEONE

Doesn't is seem a bit strange that she was killed with the SECOND shot of the gun? Don't you think that if it was really an accident she would have realized her husband's stupidity about using the gun and stopped? People can't honestly believe that when the gun went off the first time, he didn't stop to think he should quit.

You know how when you are working on a project and you really want to get it done and you're right in the middle and then realize you don't have the appropriate tools you improvise. I think that's what this poor fella was trying to do. I'm sure he's going to regret it for the rest of his life but I don't think he deserves to go to jail! People are really cruel. We should all take a step out of the box and not call people names or assume guilt rather than innocence.

He wasn’t by chance a U.S. airways pilot?

I'm flabbergasted at this guy's stupidity. What was he thinking? A good hammer drill combined with the proper drill bit will go through almost anything. He would only need to make a hole that is big enough to fit a cable wire through.

Has anyone considered that there is the possibility that the wife was unaware of the husband using the gun for this purpose? He could have asked her to watch for the "drill" to come through the wall. We will never be able to find out her side of what happened. Sounds convenient that he got her in the chest. This could be a set up for murder.

I always use a wadcutter for a cleaner hole.

This man is obviously an idiot, but you people commenting should read what you write before posting. (Hint: There is a new invention called Spell-Check!) For future reference, if you all pass judgement on this guy... please be mindfull that someone is doing the same to you.

After sitting and reading all these colorful comments, I have several things I would like to add. Can each and every one of you tell me honestly that you have never done anything you regret? Do you know anyone that has? I personally have.
I happen to know this couple. Let me set a few things straight for all of you who like to assume the truth.
First and most importantly, this man loved his wife very deeply. Body and soul, with every breath he took. The pain he is going through right now is something most of us would never make it through.
Secondly, contrary to popular assumption, they DID NOT live in a trailer home. They have a rather nice home right on the lake.
Additionally, they DO have children, they are not first time gun owners, the shot was fired from the inside of the home out, and they are very loving and giving people- someone that would give you the last cent they had if you were in need.
From all the obvious misspelling and slanderous statements here, none of you (with the exception of 1 or 2) understand this was a horrible TRAGIC ACCIDENT. Mr. Long will pay his penance by waking every morning without his darling wife by his side, and knowing he is the reason she is not there.
Before you post another hateful word about this family, remember the Lord said: "Judge not lest ye be judged."

He got it all wrong. I always use 12 gauge "00" buck shells and an ice pick with hammer. That fool is wasting time with .22. You need to go through drywall, insullation, plywood, plastic, ty-vex and siding. Now, wire for surround sound, that requires a .22. I wounder if his bullets hit a neighboring trailer.

Missouri...."the show me state" stand here honey let me show you how to make a hole in the wall

I'M NEVER CEASED TO BE AMAZED AT ALL THE STRANGE STORIES WE HEAR EVERY DAY,COMMON SINCE IS NOT FOUND IN SCHOOLS THEY DON'T TEACH LIFE SKILLS AND COMMON SINCE ANY MORE,COMMON SENCE IS NOT SO COMMON. MAY GOD
HAVE MERCY ON HIM AND HIS FAMILY.

"This guy is definitely an idiot, but let's not forget the 80,000,000 gun owners who didn't kill anyone today.

Unfortunately the same can't be said for automobiles, which are thousands of times more dangerous but for some reason aren't targeted by liberals...

— Drew Dusty, Los Angeles, CA"

What kind of logic are you using for your argument? One, what does being liberal or not have anything to do with guns? There are those who are liberal and those who are conservative who support gun ownership. You should say extremists.

Also, what is the ultimate purpose for a gun and a car? A gun has no other purpose than to inflict pain, possibly death (let's forget about target practice). It shoots a projectile and hits an object. That's all it does. It "protects" by enabling someone to cause harm. A car's primary purpose is to help people to get from point A to point B. A counter argument to your point would be how many people use a car to PURPOSELY inflict bodily harm vs those who PURPOSELY use a gun to inflict bodily harm. Now the numbers are different, aren't they? I'm not saying automobiles are safer overall, but I can't grasp your logic.

u must be a redneck if you use a gun to drill holes in the wall to install a tv

Accidents do happen, just pray for the family.

I love how half the people are calling him "idiot" in this article when they should be wishing his family the best. It was a mistake and granted it was huge but it happens to everyone and this is not the biggest one in the world. He SHOULD have NOT used the assumption that he knew where everyone was. THAT'S what killed her...

so I wish them all the best...

and p.s. everyone - don't call him an idiot when half of you can't even spell properly...

How could she get hit in the heart when he was INSIDE the house shooting to the outside ????? Was she outside in a tree ???

RG6 is 75 ohm fyi. and true, a .38 would have been much better.

good thing he wasn't pulling 14/4+cat5+RG11 or someother "smart wire" type bundle or he'd need a 12-gauge.

Now lock the idiot up with (insert folony here) conviction so he can't own a gun any more... or vote... and while we're at it castrate him so he can't procreate either. Who the heck tries drilling hole with a gun?

The guy was on the inside of the residence shooting out. Why was the wife outside? She should have been behind him handing more ammo!

That's our Ozark Hillbillies for ya!

just as I was about to bash this goofball for doing this, especially since the first time didn't work and he should have made sure he knew where he was directing that bullet, I thought about how just recently I was putting some industrial shelving together with a large Hitachi nail gun. A lady friend helping me was on the other side, no face protection, and she says, "oh gimme that thing" so she could tack up the 2x4 on her side. It was a little more gun than she thought, she shot, it bounced and fired a second nail that went right by my face. I warned her about the way she used it and then lo and behold if I didn't do the same thing 2 weeks later when she was helping me again. I've used a gun like this for many years but the first time to be in this position where she was holding a brace on the other side. I fired the first nail, no problem, was in kind of a bind where I couldn't get a straight shot on the second one but shot anyway and the gun recoiled and fired a second nail that grazed the side of her face. OOOOOOO Myyyyyy Gooooooodness, talk about a cold chill, I sure hope I learned my lesson.

I believe in absolute gun control for the stupid, insane, criminally minded, and just plain 'mean' folks out there. The rest of you are invited to dinner at my house next Saturday. We have room.

wow what an idiot hope he can get consoling ........in his nice rust manslatter jail cell

In regards to Mr. Jared Norton. In the Great white south or anywhere in this great USA country, I do know that we have installation included also when we subscribe to a service. Some opt to buy their own equipment and do it themselves! Most are smarter than this fellow who shot his wife. I think the man needs anger management, because using a gun to "drill" a hole through the wall is just plain stupid! He sounds like he was not getting anywhere with what tools he had, and using a gun was not very bright. No common sense at all! I do feel sorry for him, and what he faces in the future! He should have used his brain more!

Why does Mr. Dusky need to take a perfectly funny story about an absolute moron and turn it into a lecture about the liberals hating guns. Not all liberals hate guns by the way; I am somewhere to the left of Jimmy Carter and own about a dozen fire arms.

Why didn't "I" think of that? What a brilliant man.

The stupidity and lameness of some of these comments are even funnier than this story! Only a total moron would do something like this. Has nothing to do with gun rights. Most crimes are commited with ILLEGAL WEAPONS. And yes he should go to either a prison or a Secure mental facility for a long time! SOme of the commentors mabe should join too.

I sure hope this idiot won't be raising any children! Common sence goes a long, long way, but not as far as a bullet...

Satalite Dishes use a RG6 cable ,the proper caliber would be closer to a .38

This guy is definitely an idiot, but let's not forget the 80,000,000 gun owners who didn't kill anyone today.

Unfortunately the same can't be said for automobiles, which are thousands of times more dangerous but for some reason aren't targeted by liberals...

I do not think he should be charged. I'm sure he feels horrified by the whole ordeal. Imprisonment would most likely be more harm than good. He will need counseling & consoling, not staring @ walls & thinking of her tragedy. He needs support not punishment ! However, it was stupid to fire a gun threw a house when drills are made to do the job. I bet he thinks twice before using a gun again.

I'm nominating him as an honorary Floridiot! This is something I'd expect to see here in Broward or Miami-Dade Counties.

p.s. - loved the comment about the right calibar for 75 ohm cable.

g.p., Fort Lauderdale.

I firmly believe that a .32 cal would make the hole in the wall exactly to fit snuggly for the coaxle cable...I can't believe he didn't know that?...poor guy...he should have gone to the library and researcehd this one a bit more....why was his wife in the way??

Come on now......What idiot would shoot through their wall knowing that their wife was on the other side? My thoughts are this.......he didn't like his wife so, he shot her in the house, then shot the wall & then carried her outside to make it look like an accident. I'm sorry either way he should serve time for shooting her even if it was truly an accident. The story just has too many holes in it.

And I thought "driver's side only air bag" was the easiest way to avoid a divorce.

I cant beleave how stupid people can be

Ms. Long wasn't too bright either since she thought it was a good idea to stand on the other side of the wall that her husband was shooting at....

Wow...this guy deserves what he gets...you really cant fix 'stupid'. (And i dont think thats why up here in the great white north, installation is included when you buy satellite service.)

Unbelievable,
It's amazing what people will do.
I wonder if some politician is going to use this story to try and come up with some new "gun control" law.
This goes to show and really emphasizes on useless, lame, unenforceable gun laws to say the least, guns don't kill, people kill.
I really hate to say it, but the wife was just as to blame as the husband for staying in the house.
I mean come on, even someone who know very little about firearms has to know that discharging any kind of a firearm inside a house will mean someone is going to get hurt or in this case "dead".

Sometimes, The drill just won't make it through the wall of the trailer. Don't worry, now available is the new Ruger line of live drilling rounds. They will go through dry wall, Masonite, ply-wood, and yes, even that pesky Trailer Sheet metal.

Own yours today!!!!

....he doesn't use hollow point bullets.

Whoever reported and wrote this story did a real 1/2 "SSSed" job. The million dollar question from this simple Indian is did this man succeed in punching the hole and complete the installation or was he arrested before he could complete the installation. I am dying of curiosity.

My first reaction was that the story is a hoax, a cover up for murder. I am surprised I am the only person to think that.

humm, The story is strange enough to have me comment on it. if he's a man of home improvments, he should have known about hammer drills, which penetrate through any material, he could have rented it for the cost of a six pack.

Everybody knows it's 75 ohm (RG59)and 32 caliber works best.

What an idiot! He should rot in jail for imcompetenance as toprotect others in society from his ignorance.

I vote for him to be the only cable installer for our goverment

What is this procicuter thinking???? Everyone knows that people dont kill, the gun does. Just ask Carol McCarthy (dem) from NY , or Billery Clinton (D) NY. Bring the gun up on charges, not the man behind it.If you dont beleive me, just read the papers. Man killed by gun, Woman killed by gun, Intruder killed by gun.
This jerk will get much more then a prision sentance, he will always have the thought of killing his wife in the back of his mind

I guess we all have the right to bear arms, but when idiots benefit from that right, innocent people get killed. I cannot imagine being in my 30's and having the mind of an infant, because it sounds as if he wasn't thinking.

I'm sorry, but I just find it hard yo believe that a 22 did that.

Sounds kind of fishy. I can't believe someone would be this negligent and stupid. I suspect he was trying to off his wife and make it look like an accident.

wants a dish for her trailer...think he can install it for her ?

I'm thinking maybe he miscalculated where his wife was on the first shot, but not on the second. Accident you say; okay, just keep sticking to it!

definetly has to spend jail time, and he also indagered his house and could have hit an electrical box and caused a short circuit or explosion. this is why guns should banned from private citizens. study
shows guns are hardley ever used on intruder,but fire
accidently,or in suicide, or against a spouse. banned guns.

That's sad that a person died, but maybe it's for the best. He won't piss in the gene pool anymore; at least until he gets another bullet catcher. Another issue is the 2nd Amendment. Freedoms aren't free. And the price of the second amendment is that you have to sell guns to morons and mental patients because refusing them would be 'discrimination'. Some people should not be allowed to have anything dangerous. These are the people who could screw up a steel ball with a rubber mallet.

god bless her sole...brenda harvey

I cannot not even imagine what he must be going through right now. Sometimes individuals do things thinking it's logical when it turns out horrifying. I'm sure this happended with the right intentions and that was to get your holes in the walls although; I'm almost positive that the end results were never expected. Wow!! My heart goes out to you, your family & her family. I hope once the investigations complete & they find out that it was not intentional you will not have to face any charges. Dear, you have to live with this the rest of your life & if you have children you have to tell them what happened to "mommy". That's painful enough...

At least he won't have to fight with her over the remote!

at least if someone heard him yelling at her to move out of the way of his intended target this story could somehow be believable.

I am a chimney sweep. My company an I were removing an old clay tile liner from the chimney and we had a piece of clay tile stuck. Long story short we could not get the piece unstuck. While we were brainstorming the home owner came too us with a grand idea. He offered us a .22 caliber rifle an a box of bullets and said "why dont you shoot that out of there". Needless to say this storie no matter how tragic does not suprise me.

The wrong person was killed. He should have given her the gun and told her where to shoot, then he'd have been taken out of the gene pool and procreation would't be possible. He may produce others just like him.

He should Change his legal name to.

First Name: Stu
Last Name:Pididiot

There are people who die in tragic home accidents every year, and no matter the circumstances, these are situations of immense grief, sorrow, shame, and loss. No one in a situation of terrible loss deserves to have scorn and laughter directed at them. Please say a prayer for this woman's family, for all who loved her, and for her husband, who will bear this agony for the rest of his life. We have all used poor judgment at times.... no one deserves to be hurt this deeply. Please be compassionate.

Once I tried to unclog my tiolet with a shotgun. Ended up splattering my sister's cat downstairs.

I always thought that I would never hear anything as stupid and as tragic as this story.There are not words to describe his idiot actions.I still can`t catch my breath.I cannot imagine someone being so stupid.Wait until the gun haters latch onto this article.I`m 68 years old,and now I can honestly say that I have heard the dumbest thing ever.That poor woman.

There are drills for holes in walls. They are as long as you need them. Shooting a hole is thoughtful and creative, but strangely, in this case, dumb.

If the man loved his wife, well, she is lost to this world and him. He has lost his best friend.

Either this guy is plain stupid or absolutely brilliant. Hummmm I have an ex-wife, just need some cooperation and a satellite dish I guess.;)

Only someone from Deep Water would do something stupid enough to end up in Deep Water.Kinda makes you wonder whats in Deep Waters ,water !!!

What an idiot. Everyone knows that standard RG cable is .38 caliber....

What an idiot.
Did he ask anybody to hold his beer first?

Check our line of Smith & Wesson Punch Drills.

Seriously...my dad always taught me to use the right tool for the job. This is just stupid and didn't need to happen.

this person should have one year counselling and sent to school as he need education with a drill . Obviously it is fault of school system teaching that he is so stupid

Oh my GAWD!! This is terrible! I feel so bad for this woman, but am i a bad person for finding this kinda funny???

He obviously did not know anything about installing satellite dishes. The right way is to attach a string and then the cable wire to the back of the bullet. Then you call the wife over to catch the string as it comes barreling through the wall.This man would have been too dangerous with an Electric Drill. He then would have drilled her like a jerk and there ain't no comin' back from that! Either!
I work fer a cable company, an' it took me six wives ta find thet out!
White neck, Don

My heart goes out to her family and her husband. What a tragedy. Anyone who knows anything about firearms is understanding that they are very dangerous. All NEW gun owners should be given a lesson on gun safety. I do not want to use the word stupid...but it seems like a common reaction to this story. Rather i would use uneducated and again plead that people take gun safety very seriously. The Right to bear arms. indeed a right!

Hard to believe a grown man would actually use a gun to make a hole in for cable. I can see then charging him with stupidity but not any form murder charges. This was clearly an AVOIDABLE, tragic accident. He didn't act very bright and she, unfortunately, was at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Him living with the fact that he killed his wife will be punishment enough for him I'm sure. I hope they didn't have any children. When are people gonna learn that guns have to be handled with care. This was such a waste. My prayers go out to the family.

I mean, really, he shot and killed someone.

De-de-duh. Please let darwin have a say. This guy needs some help.

wow, what an idiot

This is sad. I wonder... I mean really... what was he thinking? Was he drunk or something? Why would someone in their right mind shoot a gun INTO an occupied house to make a hole in the wall?

You have got to be kidding me. I guess idiots don't kill people, idiots with guns kill people.

Nice.
