News reports on the radio say she bought the gun to protect herself from him. It didn't work out that way.

CLEORA -- A Delaware County man scheduled for a court hearing Thursday on violation of a protective order killed his former wife and then killed himself, authorities said.
Olin Roy Hoover, 44, and Jayne Ida Hoover, 54, both were found dead in the front yard of Jayne Hoover's home on State Highway 85 near Cleora.

Assistant District Attorney John Kelson said preliminary investigation indicates Olin broke into his former wife's home late Wednesday.

He apparently took her .410- gauge shotgun and shot her, Kelson said.

The couple were found Thursday morning by Jayne Hoover's adult daughter, Kelson said.

According to court records, a protective order was filed against Olin in July 2001. The couple divorced in September.

Great. Just what the antis' preach about.

 

[bruels]

Yeah, if she hadn't have bought that nasty shotgun, she might still be alive in an intensive care unit with only crippling injuries and brain damage from being beaten senseless.

 

[Destructo6]

That's the problem with having the tool, but not the resolve to use it.

 

[Ledbetter]

Destructo6 is right on.

Shoot at arm's length or more (seven yards?).

Tragedy.

If you aren't sure whether you could bring yourself to use the gun, you're better off without it.
