Man shoots himself in the back of a police cruiser

according to authorities.

This one smells fishy to me. Where is the gun? How could he shoot himself while handcuffed?

Arkansas Police: Man Killed Himself in Back of Cruiser

Authorities in Jonesboro, Ark., are continuing their investigation into the death of a Southaven man whom they say fatally shot himself while sitting in the back of a patrol car.

A police report says Carter was in the back of a patrol car with his hands cuffed behind his back when officers discovered he'd been shot. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died.

Wouldn't they have heard a gun shot? Saying he was "discovered" shot isn't the same thing as "he shot himself". Is there another article on this that gives better info?

So far, that's the only info I've been able to find. I heard the story on CNN, and they didn't have any more than the link provides.

Not hearing MORE from CNN--means the story must have fallen through for liberal outcry. Count on it.

There is more on this story. It does sound fishy.

Teresa, his mother, believes the police are not telling her the whole story. She points to the fact that her son allegedly shot himself in the right temple despite being left handed. She also claims that Carter called his girlfriend after being stopped and told her he would phone her from jail.

I suspect in Arkansas--anything can happen.
It is, after all, where the Clintons hailed from.
