how do you miss when you try to shoot yourself? I mean its not like you have to aim or anything.

The Husband was trying to shoot his wife. She was up the stairs. He fired and he missed. She said you don't even know how to shoot, taunting him, then he planted one right in her chest.

yeah I understood that. but then right after he tries to finnish himself off only to miss. clearly the killing shot towards his wife must have been a lucky/unlucky shot if he cant even land a bullet aiming at himself.

... and then tried to shoot himself, according to police, but he missed again, grazing his chest through his sweatshirt.

I agree. I am confounded by this bit here.

Oh, he tried to shoot himself and missed, then shot his wife for taunting him. I missed that. OK I re-read and he tried to shoot himself after he shot her. So he shot at her, missed, she taunted him, then he shot her, then missed on himself. At least that is what I am reading.

 

[Inflicted]

Unfortunate... and a little confusing?

 

[FireCat]

Holy crap.
"She taunted him?" and therefore, he needed to to shoot her?

Does anyone believe that It was the reason?

No. He shot once at his wife and missed. His wife taunted him and he shot at her again and hit. Then he called 911 to report it, and attempted to kill himself but missed again and cut his chest apparently. Read the third paragraph slowly, there's a lot of ridiculous shit going on here.
