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. The woman was pronounced dead Saturday evening after being shot in the chest with a handgun. Her husband 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. Can we say that there is a lack of common sense here? WHY WOULD YOU USE A GUN TO SHOOT A HOLE IN THE WALL? These people live among us, doesn't that scare you?

I tell you what I do not know what goes through some peoples heads at times! What on earth was he thinking? Was he even thinking at all? Because of one stupid moment he has now lost his wife, really he should be charged with something for being so stupid and thoughtless in the first place! Yes it does scare me that there are people like that living among us!!

It would be funny if the results weren't so deadly Are the investigators sure that the man didn't shoot his wife because she was telling him how to drill a hole?
