One Of The Most Incompetent Suicide Attempts Ever

last week, my fiance show me a case tried in the alaska court of appeals in 2007 concerning an individual who must be inducted immediately into the suicide incompetence hall of fame. in october 2002, Robert R. Dorr kidnapped his estranged wife after discovering that she was seeing another man. Dorr shot and killed his wife as she tried to escape from him and then turned the gun on himself. unfortunately, he was not as successful in killing himself as he was in killing his wife. Dorr shot himself twice in the head and survived.

there's a short blurb about his sentencing here.
