I was expecting the reason to be, she was trying to tell him how to
install it. Here is the real reason, and it is just as bad. http://www.khqa.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=112401 Man shoots wife while installing satellite TV system Posted: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at 10:18 a.m. SEDALIA, MO. (AP) -- Officials are trying to decide whether to file charges against a Missouri man who fatally shot his wife while trying to install a satellite TV system in their home. Thirty-four-year-old Patsy Long of Deep Water was pronounced dead Saturday evening after being shot in the chest with a .22-caliber handgun. Her husband, Ronald Long, fired the shot from the inside of their home after several unsuccessful efforts to punch a hole through the exterior wall using other means. Henry County Sheriff's Deputies say the woman was hit by the second of two shots fired by her husband. Investigators say a person involved in such a case normally would be charged with manslaughter, but that was up to the prosecutor. |

It's amazing we don't see more disasters like this. It's just a matter of time, I suppose. |

Who said anything about a roof? You're skewing the story already.

I wouldn't be surprised if the guy gets a lot of calls to do other satellite installations |

The last time I installed a satellite dish I used a drill to run the cable through the wall. It never would have occurred to me to use a gun. Maybe a wadcutter? |

Nope RG 6 is .38 caliber. I still want to know the missing piece of the story: "Honey, you stand outside, and let me know when the bullet comes through the wall." One review of the story almost explained it: ....The right way. 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 .... |

And I keep thinking he was firing from the inside out, but maybe it was the other way around. |

I'm not an NRA member, but to assert that the type of behavior described here is stereotypically that of NRA members is a direct reflection on the lack of intelligence by the poster. The actor was/is beyond stupid. I doubt that the NRA would take him. |

We were at an outdoor event and the cars were parked close to the kegs. Some guy locked his keys in his pretty new Camaro. He was trying to break the windshield with a rock to get in. Someone stopped him before he could break it. Didn't he have a gun? |
