A man struggling to put a hole in his ceiling, while installing a Directv system ends up killing his wife.

Talk about killing two birds with one stone….err Bullet.  (Satellite TV installed and No More Nagging)

Apparently, Ronald Long of Deepwater, MO thought it would be a good idea, as he was having troubles doing it the normal way, you know – with tools. Apparently he was having trouble breaking through the external wall of the house. The bullet went up – up -up arched and landed in his wife’s chest who was outside at the time.

Patsy Long, 34, of Deepwater was rushed to the hospital immediately, but was declared dead on arrival.

Officials are determining whether they should file charges. Spokesman for the Sheriff’s department said that a person involved in such a case, could be brought up on charges of manslaughter.

This guy – truly wins the Dumbass of the week Award!

*Personal Note: It’s a funny story, definitely strange, some people really aren’t the brightest bulb in the pack. But it’s also a sad story, she was a young mother trying to raise her children, and now their father is probably going to end up in prison. Sad to see how fast so many lives can be ruined – because of one stupid mistake.
