Comments on: The Gazette this week, part 1 http://gaithersblog.net/2008/11/20/the-gazette-this-week-part-1-59/ Goings on in Gaithersburg, Maryland Fri, 18 May 2012 06:25:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.11 by: concerned Gaithersburg citizen http://gaithersblog.net/2008/11/20/the-gazette-this-week-part-1-59/#comment-81163 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:21:43 +0000 http://gaithersblog.net/2008/11/20/the-gazette-this-week-part-1-59/#comment-81163 I'm trying to figure this out: From the Gazette: One of the two shots fired in the incident was recovered: a .40-caliber round, the kind issued to police. Marinero was struck in the head with a round from a .22-caliber handgun. A .22-caliber handgun was found in the area where Marinero was when shots were fired. So did the police officer shoot Marinero with a handgun that was in the apartment? A .22 cal handgun? I can't imagine that the police officer was carrying such a small cal handgun. Did Marinero kill himself with the .22 cal handgun? Did the .40 cal round miss? I think so. Is this why the police officer was not charged? Why wouldn't the paper say that the bad guy shot himself? It's a very muddy article as far as facts that make sense. (in my opinion) I’m trying to figure this out: From the Gazette:
