Moral of the story?
Never shoot with an empty head. :banghead:

Maybe the family tried to disquise the fact when they originally said that he shot at the tank and it ricocheted. If they didn't change their story before the autopsy, the medical examiner would have been able to tell from examining the bullet recovered from the man's head.

It was a .380 and it killed him with one shot.

He removed the magazine (Chronicle story said clip, yes more puppies died) and pulled the trigger pointing at the tank.

He may have not been aware it was still loaded, as guns always are.

In addition to alcohol a girl was also involved, as she was afraid to fire the gun.
:thumbs2: That just about sums it up. :mrgreen:
