Woman commits suicide after buying pistol

[Binky]

A woman in her mid-60s shot herself to death Saturday in the parking lot of the Far East Dallas gun shop where she had just bought a pistol.

The woman's name had not been released.

People inside McClelland Gun Shop heard the shot and called police after 2 p.m. The woman was found inside her Lexus sedan in the 1500 block of Centerville Road, near Garland and Jupiter roads.

The gun found at the scene is the same one she had just purchased, Dallas police Sgt. Shelley Johnston said.

*Investigators will verify that the shop followed procedures before selling the weapon, Johnston said.

No one answered the phone at the gun shop.

great.

*sigh*

At least it wasn't the "Same type of assault rifle used in the CT massacre resulting in the murder of 20 children and 6 women"

Sad story, but as always, the shooter is to blame, not the gun.

We should ban suicide! Oh, wait a second...

Glad you were able to avoid suicide like so few pistol owners are!

Hey at least she didn't take out more people other than herself. If she'd had shot the owner or something the media would have turned it into her buying an "assault rifle" just to kill others.

I heard the pistol was an AK47 Bushmaster model with lots of clips.

There's more alcohol related deaths then firearm. Prohibition makes more sense then gun bans.

New meaning to buy a bullet and rent a gun.

Probably committed credit card fraud too. She had no intention on paying that bill next month.
