DIY satellite TV installer shoots wife dead | The Register

Officials are pondering whether to charge a Missouri DIY satellite TV installer who decided that the best way to punch a hole through the wall was with a .22 calibre handgun, and in so doing accidentally shot and killed his wife.
According to KCTV5.com, Ronald Long was attempting to install said system in the bedroom of his family's Deepwater home last Saturday. After "several unsuccessful efforts to punch a hole through the exterior wall using other means" he popped two caps into the wall, unaware that his wife, Patsy, was outside the building.

The second round hit her in the chest, and although she was "given CPR by neighbors and family until medics arrived", she was later pronounced dead in hospital.
Sheriff's department spokesman Maj. Robert Hills explained: "He was under the impression that everybody was inside the residence, that he knew where everybody was at."

Can picture his statement saying,

I told the wife to stand outside and shout when she saw the hole, so I knew I had gone right through, I didn't hear her after the first shot so I tried again, it was only when I looked through the hole that I realised I had hit her.

I have now decided I don't like the tv on that wall anyway, so I will need to put another hole on the opposite wall now. This time I will know better and will make the hole from the outside in.
