The award for the dead man. The women, still living, by statutes cannot be rewarded one, since she survived.

This shows why in an ideal world there would be some sooper-dooper psychotest assessing whether or not somebody has the rationality and mental sanity needed to own firearms or not, before selling him one. What if this fool would have started to fire at people wearing plastic helmets at a constuction site, claiming that the helmet would have protected them? Somebody thinking a book shields his heart from a shot, can as easily believe in the mythical protection of such a helmet, too. He should have never had access to a firearm.

Yes it's old news but the BBC is obsessed with guns in the USA and bring up these kinds of stories over and over.

I believe that the smallest cartridge for the Desert Eagle is the .357 Mag which has about 700-800 ft pounds of energy.

An unwise decision.
