The last time the CIA went to the media with supposedly incontrovertible evidence we ended up invading Iraq over WMD's that didn't exist. Food for thought.
The CIA: -Funded and militarized terrorists in foreign countries^6 -Funded Blood and Crips gangs in California through drug smuggling^1 -Facilitated distribution of crack cocaine, contributing to the explosion of crack cocaine in America (The reporter who broke this story was later found to have died to two gunshot wounds to the head. It was ruled a suicide)^2 -Influenced media and created propaganda through Operatio…

I was unable to find any other details of this case, or of other cases of multiple self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head.

"Idiot" in Greek means one who is idiosyncratic in his ways and opinion. Basically, one who isn't using common sense. What's wrong with saying that?

Two self-inflicted gunshot wounds directly through the cranial cavity approaches near impossibility. A gunshot wound to other parts of the head might not be instantly self-incapacitating. It would be incredibly interesting to know more details about what exactly happened, here. I was unable to find any other details of this case, or of other cases of multiple self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head.
I'm not sure that's the case. A second round consciously fired would be practically impossible, sure - but if the person is using a semi-automatic handgun (the most common type) and their finger muscles contract automatically upon the disruption to their CNS, I can totally see a second round being fired.
