A death that solved two problems at once

The gist of the story takes one sentence to tell:

A man whose wife had recently died was only a few feet away from his own tombstone in a family burial plot when he pointed a loaded gun at a deputy and was fatally shot, authorities said Thursday.
And the man was helpful in two ways:
  1. No need to go drive too far for his burial
  2. And (I know you will hate me for this, but I can't restrain myself) he solved the issue of his tombstone epitaph. Surely it will be: "I didn't shoot the deputy".
Apologies all around...

Suicide by cop, I believe it is called. There was one the other day here in Austin, so that's two in a week.

To paraphrase another famous shooting scene,

If you want to joke, joke; don't apologize!

SnoopyTheGoon said...

I sincerely felt the need to ;-)
