The first thing that comes to my mind is why wasn't the gun safety on? Gun safety 101: Keep the safety lock on until you are ready to shoot no matter what.
Such a tragic accident. I feel for poor Randy, and I hope that he's getting the help he needs.

According to the NY Daily News, the same alleged "friend" and attorney who tried to get Randy under conservatorship last year are getting involved in his present situation. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.2556907
Omg. I seriously can't.
Noooooooo... we don't need more of the legal craziness! this whole thing is just heartbreaking.

An article is combining the events of his events in the past with now. saying he is on psych watch after threatening to kill the staff and himself with an AK 47. that was last time. there is no way he could even be like that now. this is what upsets me about the media. Quick to spread lies on undeserving people.
The NY Daily News article refers to the present situation. They reference the previous situation in one paragraph; they are not claiming it is what occurred in this current incident. They may believe it gives some background to the current situation.
In any case, given that he is indeed under pyschiatric care, I'm not sure that to state 'there is no way he could even be like that now' is entirely accurate.
This is just so sad and all of this when it's his birthday.

"So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key."
It says he threatened to kill himself. It does not say he threatened anyone else.
Founding Eagles member Randy Meisner spent his 70th birthday on Tuesday in a psych ward for threatening suicide after his wife accidentally shot herself in the couple's California home, the Daily News confirmed.
"He threatened to kill himself," said attorney Troy L. Martin, who represented a family friend in a conservatorship case for Meisner last year.
That is the current incident, not the previous one.
However I again state that the police had already attended the house prior to the fatal shooting.
