    A gunshot wound to the back of the head ruled a suicide? Seriously? Unless it’s a form of protest akin to the Vietnamese monk setting himself on fire, the notion that this was a suicide seems...questionable.

      Or there’s a good chance somebody mistook the exit wound for the entrance wound and misinformed the family.

      Additionally if he had placed the gun against the side of his head and flinched- not unheard of- the round could’ve entered towards the back part of his head.

      Really with only the family’s word to go on and not the actual coroner’s report- which was that this was a suicide- there’s not a lot of reason to doubt the police report.

      That would be a fairly epic level of incompetence. As someone who saw a lot of gunshot wounds to the head in the Army and found my father with a self-inflicted one, I’m going to suggest that it’s probably very unlikely that a trained professional made such a mistake.

    So, who moved the body from the adjoining bedroom(where it was stated he ran to), back to the bathroom (where his body was found)?

    For those of you in the greys upset by the use of “shenanigans” to explain away burglary, go ahead and mentally insert “boys will be boys”. I know you aren’t used to it being applied to melanin rich people, but that’s how your folks got you out of trouble when you went through your pyro or klepto phases. Just allow a 16 year old to be as stupid as we all once were.

      Burglary is generally considered a pretty serious crime (especially when committed by someone with a gun).

      If he had committed a crime with a gun, it would be robbery, and not burglary. There was no gun when the burglaries were committed. You can relax.

    I can’t imagine a scenario where it would be likely to commit suicide by shooting yourself from behind. I mean it would take far more effort than in the side of the head.

    So I’m thinking accident or police shooting. At least to me those seem most likely.

      They don’t seem to be specific about the location of the entry wound. I have had the unfortunate experience to treat persons with self inflicted gunshot wounds. People tend to aim for the side of the head, but often flinch at the last moment. Sometimes, they miss entirely. It is not unusual to have someone turn their head away from the gun, and hit themselves behind the ear. It is terrible and sad that this happens, but it does.

      So police shooting and cover up ranks higher than an actual suicide? Jesus help our society.

    The already think we have unnatural strength, feel not pain, and have skin thick enough to deflect bullets and tazers and can legibility be magical. Why not add on the ability to dislocate joints and react like Stretch Armstrong?

      You can’t point at the back of your head? I mean, even if you don’t believe he killed himself, it’s not because he couldn’t reach the back of his head. It wasn’t a rifle, it was a handgun.

    So, you have one shot fired, one entry wound on the person, one gun that fired the shot, and no police weapons that were fired?

    This guy was no shot by the police. I get it. Police lie all the time. But none of this adds up to anything other than weird incident of suicide.

    OK, I know this won’t be the most popular reply of the evening, and while I agree there are some very legit questions about what went down here, I can’t help being bothered by the tone of this article, and some others on the site.

    “Instead, they run outside and call SWAT, because now it’s a standoff situation, even though only one round was fired and no one got hit or hurt.”

    I’m no expert on police / SWAT procedure, admittedly, but this sentence really feels like mitigating the fact that someone deliberately fired a shot inside a house containing officers (and likely other civilians)?

    I don’t know Monique. I guess nobody is forcing me to read the site, which I enjoy, but I feel like I have to point it out. I can’t be the only one that feels like this is irresponsible writing.
