Accidental Shooting in Georgia - Woman Dead - Husband under Investigation

Local news reports
Dalton Police and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are probing the gunshot death of a 47-year-old Dalton woman at her home on Sunday afternoon.

At approximately 1 p.m., officers from the Dalton Police Department responded to a report of an accidental shooting at 1807 Shadow Lane, Apt. 2. When they arrived, officers found Tammie Elizabeth Hammock with a gunshot wound to her head. She was transported by EMS to Hamilton Medical Center, but later died of her injuries.

Ms. Hammock’s husband, 47-year-old Otis Hammock, told officers that the gunshot was an accidental discharge that happened as she was handing his handgun to him in their apartment.
This one requires a lengthy investigation while others result in immediate arrest. Why?

    Because evidence at the scene may vary.

  2. That is such bull...Everyone knows he was crazy and always threating to kill her. Her own kids knew this too. Her husband was put in Rome years ago after he threaten her and their childrens lives...he tried to kill himself too. The police won't convict him..they don't want to spend the money on the case..that's why they are letting him so thus far. It's a shame and a disgrace!!
