One of my students at the theatre, her mom was accidentally shot when her DH was cleaning the gun. He got it back from a friend, and he just assumed they had removed the bullets.

I feel so much empathy towards her. I hope they have a high level of support, considering going from 0 to 5 kids (under 5) would be difficult for anyone especially a single person (and within that time frame).
She appears to have placed him on a pedestal, which is her choice, but hopefully he has placed her within the same realm in regards to respect/care/love etc.
I know someone similar to her, it's not that they are in a void of reality but from the outside looking in their perception of reality is very different than the rest of ours. I think the case is the same here.
Even aside from all the other strangeness, I don't understand the logistics of how someone would be holding a gun where a bullet would enter their arm but then also hit someone just entering the room.
If her story is true, at least she went to get him for dinner instead of sending one of the kids. It would have been much worse.
This is my thought exactly. I don't understand how this happened?
And JFC, it could have been one of the kids walking in...they're probably about knee high to her. Why the fuck were they cleaning the guns in the house?

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but I have always thought this guy was a fucking vulture. Her deceased husband's family is very wealthy and she has talked about how they took care of the financials, including paying off her house before he passed. She also got a LOT of money in online fundraisers after he passed. So, money, no debt, extremely vulnerable grieving woman. Then she starts posting about how he's been unhappy and they need to "pull back" their online presence for awhile. Then she pins the article on abusive relationships. Now she got shot.

I mean....
From her comments, I wondered if he was unhappy about the article she posted.
Most appropriate comment I read in this mess: "This relationship is destined for a Dateline special."
It is horrifying that people can fangurl SO HARD that they dismiss this as "things happen." I literally read a post on her FB that said "no one could have prevented this."
We are truly living in some fucked up times.
We still make excuses for behavior when there are none. No one wants to say maybe she rushed into things or maybe this was not an "accident". I am not saying she did or didn't, but even if she did it does not make her a horrible person. It makes her human. It is ok to admire or like someone who fucks up every once and a while. I don't trust perfection. lol
This is what I'm talking about. This isn't about her marrying some douche a couple months after posting some glamour shots over her husband's casket. I don't really care. But the fact that people would rabidly defend this as "accidents happen" because they are infatuated with her blog is insane and disgusting. She or her children could have easily been killed in an easily avoidable manner.

This is insanity. I've been following her GOMI for awhile and it seems like a lot doesn't add up with her new husband. I feel so much for her children. They lost their father and had a new one in less than 3 months who they call "daddy Richard."

According to GOMI (I know) before he was with Emily he had posted several alarming FB posts sounding suicidal. I didn't see any screen shots but his post about squirrels (so fucking weird) I can believe it.

Not flameful at all. I think the reality she is in, what she's portraying, and what she thinks she is in....are all completely different.
She was shot in the knee, which would have been chest height for her youngest kids. Thank god they were not in that room.
This is so weird.
I don't know who this is about and I find reddit very confusing so I can't see the details of the shooting. But I know someone whose small child shot their mother accidentally with a loaded, obviously unsecured, gun. It's not a "better" option here but the man might not have been trying to kill her. Someone here mentioned multiple small children so it's quite possible they're dangerous idiots who give their babies access to loaded weapons. It's hard to imagine a domestic violence shooting in the knee but it's the right height for a child holding a gun.
I don't know anything about this woman/family besides the handful of posts I've read about here over the past year (?) or so. And it's been a looooooong time since I was around guns. But isn't a really big part of gun cleaning when you clean the chamber? Where the bullets are? So how do you clean that, if there's a bullet in it? Never mind actually (accidentally or on purpose) pulling the trigger?
I'm going to bet he was putting it back together and loading one into the chamber. Which is still against all safety rules you should follow.

Interesting theory.
This would explain how the H and she both were shot by the same bullet.

oh, well now I have to know the whole story!
ETA - is the story on reddit? All I see are comments about it and no details on her facebook page? I see it on facebook. I'm suspicious to say the least. "Richard and his friend were cleaning and reassembling their guns alone in the house after a day at the range." People tend to add details when they're lying.
Even aside from all the other strangeness, I don't understand the logistics of how someone would be holding a gun where a bullet would enter their arm but then also hit someone just entering the room.
If her story is true, at least she went to get him for dinner instead of sending one of the kids. It would have been much worse.
This is my thought exactly. I don't understand how this happened?
And JFC, it could have been one of the kids walking in...they're probably about knee high to her. Why the fuck were they cleaning the guns in the house?
This is where I'm at. All the gun owners I know have special rooms where they clean their guns so they don't do it around their kids-bullets are stored in a completely different location. WHY WOULD YOU CLEAN IT ON THE DINING ROOM TABLE CLOSE TO WHERE THE KIDS ARE?!

This. DH cleans his guns in the locked basement. Alone - no other people or animals in the vicinity.

...and then he reloads then and carries them with him to dinner dates and other public spaces.

Poor Emily. She has been through the wringer this year. I've been following her story sporadically since her husband was first diagnosed and was so sad for all of them when he passed. I've always wondered what her and Martin's family think of Richard.
