Let's Play Catch - With a Shotgun?

Oklahoma City, Ok. - Keith Allen Miller, 37, has been jailed on complaints of murder and possession of a sawed-off shotgun.

Miller called 911 to report his girlfriend had been shot at the trailer lot where they lived. He told police he was playing catch with his girlfriend, tossing the shotgun back and forth when he caught the gun and it went off, killing her.

Nina Brouhard, 39, was found dead Sunday evening inside a recreational vehicle parked at the A Ok Campgrounds. She died of a shotgun blast to the chest, the state medical examiner's office said Monday.

Oklahoma City police detained Miller late Sunday and arrested him after questioning by detectives. He was held Monday in the Oklahoma County jail without bail.

Police said Miller appeared intoxicated during questioning.

Maybe Toss: Repeat
We've seen this one before. I think this only qualifies as a Darwin if in fact we can prove it was the dead person who started the game of catch. The authorities don't believe him, there were no other witnesses... I say let this one go.

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
If they really were playing catch with a loaded shotgun then it qualifies...I would wait for investigation to finish to see if it was murder.

This is pretty funny, but the victim wasn't the one performing the idiotic action, unless you believe the man.
