Gun Control???
Man fatally shoots wife while installing satellite TV system
Reported by: Mike Marusarz Email: marusarz@nbcactionnews.com Last Update: 10:02 pm DEEPWATER, Mo. -- A man shot his wife while trying to install their satellite television dish. She died in what appears to be an accident. The man apparently wanted to punch a hole in the wall to run some wires. When drilling didn't work, he used bullets. He says he had no idea his wife was standing outside in the line of fire. In Deepwater, the homes are secluded. What happened here opened a river of emotions. "It's just tragic. It's just you know, it's just such a tragic thing," neighbor Margaret McCaslin said. Outside their white house, Ronald Long, 39, and his wife Patsy, worked to install a TV satellite dish Saturday evening. Punching a hole through the outside wall to run the wires failed. Investigators said Long grabbed his 22 caliber handgun, thinking his wife was inside. "He tried a few things. After repeated attempted to get the hole through the wall in sort of a desperate measure he shot outside through the wall and hit his wife in the chest," Henry County Sheriff Department Spokesperson Major Robert Hills said. The couple's young son and teenage daughter ran out of the house to discover their mom shot dead. The sheriff is investigating it as an accident. Neighbors are helping the family cope. "Sometimes people will decide an idea is a good one and it ends tragically. That's what happened here," McCaslin said. Family members did not want to talk and are asking for privacy. The Henry County Sheriff's Department is finishing the report before handing the case over to the prosecutor. Long is not in police custody as of Monday, and continues to cooperate with investigators. While the shooting appears to be an accident, Long could still face charges.

Welcome to Missouri!
And you should see how they drive here too. It's right up there with the carpentry skills in Deepwater.

Re: Gun Control???
What an idiot. Everyone knows a .22 won't leave a big enough hole for coaxial cable. He should have used a .30-06 for a good fit or a 12 guage so he'd have room for some caulk.
