We took JJ's screwdrivers away from him for a good reason - tools are dangerous, especially when you use the wrong tool for the job. In fact, this guy is a real tool!<br />

DEEPWATER, Mo. -- Officials are trying to decide whether to file charges against a Missouri man who fatally shot his wife while trying to install a satellite TV system in the bedroom of their home.<br />
Patsy Long, 34, of Deepwater, died after being shot in the chest with a .22-caliber handgun on Saturday. Her husband, Ronald Long, fired the shot from the inside of their home after several unsuccessful efforts to punch a hole through the exterior wall using other means.<br />
Henry County sheriff's deputies said the woman was hit by the second of two shots fired by her husband.<br />
Long was given CPR by neighbors and family until medics arrived, police said. She was transported by air ambulance, but was pronounced dead at the hospital just after 6 p.m.<br />
"He was under the impression that everybody was inside the residence, that he knew where everybody was at, said sheriff's department spokesman Maj. Robert Hills.<br />
Hills said a person involved in such a case normally would be charged with manslaughter, but that would be up to the prosecutor.<br />
"Once we complete a diagram of the incident, we will be submitting everything to the prosecuting attorney and let him decide if he wants to press criminal charges," Hills said.<br />
Henry County Coroner Scott Largent declined to release details about Patsy Long's death until the sheriff's department completes its investigation.<br />
On Tuesday morning, Henry County Prosecuting Attorney Richard M. Shields said he has yet to receive the case from the sheriff's department.<br />
Neighbor Mark Lassince said he believed it was a tragic accident.<br />
"Bad things happen to good people, Lassince said.<br />
Patsy and Ronald Long were raising their children in their rural home overlooking Truman Lake.<br />
"I was in the shower, and the son came in and told me his mom had been shot, so we went up there to see if we could help, Lassince said.<br />
Patsy Long worked as a carhop at a Sonic restaurant in Warsaw, Mo.<br />
She was a good person, you know, took care of her family, Lassince said.<br />
