Russian Policeman Kills Himself Scratching Nose with His Gun.


An armed 23 year old policeman in Moscow fell victim of his own carelessness. He decided to scratch an itchy spot on his nose with a gun and accidentally killed himself, the Moskovsky Komsomolets report


The tragedy happened in the court security facility. At 6pm the officer’s supervisor tried to connect with him over the phone to check on him. The sergeant did not answer his phone and the supervisor had to go see him with other officers.

The police found a locked door they had to break and the body of their colleague behind the door. The policeman’s body with a wound in the head was found under the desk.

The investigation ruled out a murder. There was no note that would indicate suicide.

The victim had been serving in police since 2007. He was single and was not registered with the staff psychologist. He was reported to be in good spirits on the day of the accident.

The sergeant allegedly scratched his nose with his gun and accidentally pulled the trigger.

Hillary Rodham had a whole list of people that were close to her that died from scratching the backs of their heads with a gun...some even scratched it twice.

Exactly. I was thinking "Vince Foster" as I read this.

Then there is the guy who pulls the trigger and the gun doesn't fire so he looks down the barrel to see what he can see.

Oops!!!! Oh well................

This just goes to show you that you cannot be careless with a gun. Besides, I thought that you scratch your nose with your fingers.

[Awoke]

So let me get this straight: He locked the door, then climbed under a desk, then scratched his nose with a loaded pistol?

Highly doubtful.

It smells like a suicide to me despite the fact that there was no note but what do I know? :dunno
