Officials are trying to determine whether to file charges against a man who fatally shot his wife while trying to install a satellite television system in their home.

Patsy Long, 34, of Deepwater, was pronounced dead on Saturday evening after being shot in the chest with a .22-calibre handgun.

Her husband Ronald Long fired the shot from inside their home after several unsuccessful efforts to punch a hole through the exterior wall using other means.

The woman, who was outside the house, was hit by the second of two shots fired by Ronald Long, the Henry County Sheriffs Department said.

Sheriffs Department spokesman Major Robert Hills said a person involved in such a case normally would be charged with manslaughter, but that was up to the prosecutor.

"Once we complete a diagram of the incident, we will be submitting everything to the prosecuting attorney and let him decide if he wants to press criminal charges," Hills said.

Crazy stuff aaa!! Poor Husband.

I didn't think .22 handguns could be fatal especially after traveling through a brick wall.

It doesent say its a brick wall and id say the first bullet cleared the way and the second went straight through and hit his misses.
