“A 67-year-old man was killed when his rifle accidentally discharged Saturday evening outside his Manheim Township home,” lancasteronline.com reports. “David R. Shenk, of 115 Petersburg Road, died soon after suffering a single gunshot to his head at around 7 p.m., Lancaster County Coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni said after an autopsy this morning. ‘It was an accidental death,’ he said. ‘A rifle inside the decedent’s personal vehicle appears to have discharged when he was either placing or removing contents into or out of his vehicle. It was not suicide.'” Those contents will get you every time.
