Police chief said he shot wife moving gun in bed

[TexasTowelie]

ATLANTA — A police chief in Georgia told a 911 dispatcher he accidentally shot his sleeping wife while moving a handgun that was in their bed, according to a recording released Friday.

Peachtree City police Chief William McCollom called for help at 4:17 a.m. New Year's Day and reported accidentally shooting his 58-year-old wife, Margaret, while they both slept. The Associated Press obtained a recording of the call Friday through an open records request. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into the shooting.

McCollom spoke calmly in the audio recording, telling a dispatcher he needed medical help for an accidental gunshot wound at his suburban home, about 30 miles southwest of Atlanta.

"Who shot her?" the dispatcher asked.

"Me," McCollom said. "The gun was in the bed, I went to move it, and I put it to a side and it went off."

1. Guns don't just go off do they? That would be

defective I think. Plus a gun in bed? I mean guns are dangerous you should be awake when you are near one. Sleeping with a gun in bed is extreme I think.

2. Yeah that sounds very fishy

I don't think they were both ammosexual. I think it's a lie that the gun was in the bed in the first place. Or that someone would pick up the gun with his finger in the trigger seriously who handles a gun that way?

3. It sounds like one of those stories from Forensic Files...

nothing makes sense. He's a police officer and would surely know how to handle a loaded gun.

The gun was in the bed.

This will not end well for him.
