Detective to other cops: “Looks like a clear case of improper muzzle control. He forgot the end with the big hole was dangerous. A pity, but you can’t fix stupid.”

Yeah, I thought about that, but wouldn't it then have been described as a "sawed-off shotgun" rather than just a "shotgun"?

Well, it WAS written by a journalist, so we're lucky it wasn't described as an AK-47 or a glock...

IF... the shotgun was sawed off, the pellet spread could have been wide, would it not?

Sure wouldn’t want to clean up that mess, anyhow.

Well, I heard (somewhere??) that the couple he was holding down on were taunting him with such remarks as
“He to stoopid to know what he be doing”,
“He ain’t got the guts to pull the trigger”,
and the ‘fatal’ exchange “There aint no bullets in that thing” and the one that assumed room temp said
“OH YEAH? watch this”..

They don’t say if there was alcohol involved or was it just a case of who is in charge of the TV controls?
