It may turn out that the tazer shock caused a contraction of his finger that pulled on the trigger. We have no idea just now whether the tazer was fired before or after he pulled the trigger. Until we really do have the facts, at this moment, it only appears he may have killed himself. This man must have been exhausted. How much sleep will he have managed in the past week? Cornered on the edge of a field, no-where to run, constant running water flowing behind you, the noise of a helicopter constantly overhead, people shouting/talking to you, maybe lights in your face... in a war zone this wouuld be considered torture (NO, I am not suggesting the Police were using such methods). What effects would that have on anyone?

I agree with Kendall about any man beating on a woman or a child (anyone for that matter)... but I also know that killing yourself can actually be a very brave thing too. It's a selfish thing but not necessarily a cowardly act.

We should let the investigation run its course now and see what unfurls. Anything else could be suupposition.
