Multiple shots in the face and torso uh ok.... Sounds like dhs and police are teaching to kill anyone then place a gun in their hand. They use targets of pregnant women and elderly in their own homes & children & mothers at playgrounds.

He is lucky he only shot himself with a pistol and not one of those deadly assault weapons the army use that are designed to fragment and explode all the things.
OUTSTANDING!!!!! Now the dumbarses are shooting their selves and saving the Cops their bullets.
Not just once, but multiple shots?? Â Doesn't sound like an accident. Â Failed suicide? Â
Just another example of an idiot with a gun. Â There are so many reported that it's hard to keep up with.
I believe we can't use any statistics from Roseburg in any argument for or against gun/drug/police control. There's just too many wierd folks down there. Sopmeone else suggested on another story that maybe we should have the water down there tested.
More guns are need to protect citizens from their own guns and hunting of course.
Barney fife ...What a tool just glad nobody else was injured just cheddar bob.
