In several conversations with various accounts, there was talk about her love of shooting guns, owning guns, building her arsenal and shooting people in the face, detectives said. There were several photographs of Allysandra holding various firearms (handguns, revolvers and rifles) in different poses to include the firearm pressed against her head, against stuffed animals heads and shooting bottles at an unknown location.

A witness described Gaughan as Bleas boyfriend, documents said, adding Gaughan brought a gun to a gathering earlier in the evening and believed the chamber was empty.
Other witnesses, including Blea, told police the group was drinking before she and the other woman decided to take the photos, documents said.
She stated it was an accident and admitted she has never taken any firearm safety courses and believed the firearm didnt have a bullet in the chamber, Blea told detectives, according to documents. She was adamant that she did not intentionally kill Mark.

FTA: In one conversation, Blea reportedly commented, I wish I could shoot people with real guns and get away with it.
That'll be in the prosecution's opening statement, I'll bet.

Apparently 8newsnow really likes to read the room.

(60,442 posts)I am fairly confident that he did not intentionally intend to be killed, either. But he is still just as dead, and she is still the one who pulled the trigger.
That does tend to happen when people acquire firearms and follow the instructions use as directed.
