Ohh Shoot recounts this wonderful tale of gun-owning insanity in Pennsylvania. The original incident happened in February, the sentencing is more recent.
42-year-old Pete Tano, of Hatfield Township, Pennsylvania was estranged
from his wife of 17 years, Christina. According to court documents, the
couple got into an argument in January when Tano arrived at her
apartment and saw another man there. Christina told Tano to leave and
when he didn't she "panicked and grabbed her gun" , a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver.
Reports indicate that she was waving her gun around and told Tano to get out but instead he pulled out his own gun, a 9 mm Glock semi-automatic handgun.
Christian testified that she dropped her gun, hoping Tano would drop
his, but instead, he swung his arm down at her. She said she went to
block the blow with her hand, but his gun hand struck her head and the
gun fired, shooting through her wrist, a Marilyn Monroe poster and into
the wall.
Tano pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of recklessly endangering
another person and was sentenced Thursday to 23 months in the county
jail. The judge reduced the sentence to five months already served and
placed Tano on parole for the remainder of the 23-month sentence.
