Authorities won't file charges against a Pennsylvania state trooper who shot and killed his pregnant wife at their suburban Philadelphia home.
A three-month investigation found that Joseph Miller's gun went off as he tried to clean it at home in East Norriton.
The bullet struck his wife in the head. Both 34-year-old Joanna Miller and her 22-week-old fetus died.
The Montgomery County district attorney's office concluded the March 7 shooting was negligent but accidental.
Authorities said in a news release Friday that all evidence indicated the Millers were "a close-knit, loving family excited about the pending arrival of a new baby." They had four other children.
In many other kinds of accidents (work place, auto, etc.) that does not mean parties get off with no charges, no punishment, escape responsibility, or at least financial responsibility.
