She Shoulda Rode Shotgun
This 21 year old girl chose the wrong day to drive the family truck. Usually her husband would take the wheel, but he was hung over from the night before so wifey volunteered to drive while he nursed his ailing gourd in the passenger seat. Unfortunately for her, hubby had been up to all sorts of badness, including no small measure of criminal enterprise. In the course of his illicit mercantilism, it seems he racked up a fair share of enemies. The Book of Grudges finally became too ungainly for one rival faction and they opted to snuff out his burgeoning enterprise for good. The clever opposition laid a cunning ambuscade for the passing truck after it left the couple's home on Monday evening. As it rolled past the appointed juncture, the designated gunsel discharged a 12 gauge (according to the police report) shotgun into the driver's side of the cab. He then fled through a corn field and into the night. Poor Claudia was struck in the head and upper arm and died almost instantly. Her husband was unscathed, save for the persistent headache from the previous night's hangover.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Sneaking her hand in her pants for one last bit of self-love?

Re: She Shoulda Rode Shotgun
Jeez, what happened to her arm? Is that just gun shot damage?

Re: She Shoulda Rode Shotgun

Re: She Shoulda Rode Shotgun
That's my understanding, yes. The vehicle did not wreck or overturn-it wasn't going very fast when they ambushed it. I think that's gunshot damage, though the worse of it may be on the underside. Regrettable lack of good angles on the postmortem images, so difficult to tell. |

Re: She Shoulda Rode Shotgun
The scene responders and morgue personnel often tuck their hands into the waistband like that so they don't flop around when the corpse is being moved, especially if there's no rigor yet.

Re: She Shoulda Rode Shotgun
Heh, I read a lot of Frederic Brown, Henry Kuttner, Paul Cain, and Jim Thompson. Suppose it's to be expected that there's some spillover into my writing style when I can actually find the time to type up the details of these incidents on here. But I do agree. It's a good word. And too-seldom employed these days in media headlines.  |
