Atlanta Attorney Says He Accidentally Fatally Shot Wife as They Drove Home – and Blames Black Lives Matter Protestors

A prominent Atlanta attorney says he accidentally shot his executive wife in the back when a gun in his lap fired after their car hit a speed bump.

Claud "Tex" McIver was in the back seat when he says his .38 snub-nose revolver went off, wounding his wife Diane who was seated in the front passenger seat. She died in surgery several hours later at Emory University Hospital last Monday. She was 63.

McIver says he and his wife were being driven home by Diane's best friend when their Ford Explorer was approached by several individuals during a week in which there were many Black Lives Matter protests in the area, according to Bill Crane, a McIver family friend, who spoke to the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday.

Fearing they were about to be carjacked, McIver pulled out his gun from the center console as a precaution. McIver was falling asleep with the gun in his lap and has no recollection of pulling the trigger, Crane told the newspaper.

A: There weren't any Black Lives Matters activists protesting in the area where he shot his wife.
B: He's not rotting jail right now

White privilege, everybody.

1. Un-fucking believable. No other words. nt

[ManiacJoe]

2. A negligent shooting.

Bring the appropriate charges.

[The Genealogist]

3. Another "Personal Responsibility" right winger, no doubt

Out of one side of their shifty little mouths they demand "personal responsibility" while out the other blaming every negative thing, like this, on someone else.

[mythology]

4. I hope this was actually an accident

And not say the world's worst divorce filing. I find it rather odd that somebody else was driving and he got the gun in the backseat and then fell asleep while he was so bravely standing guard to protect them from the roving bands of (imaginary) black people.

6. Total bs. He's going all in with this. Wonder if there's soemething between him and . . .

the woman driving?

He actually said he went to sleep with the gun in his lap and doesn't remember pulling the trigger?

Good one.

Again, I'd check the relationship between him and the driver.

7. What's interesting to me is the gun humper slept with his gun

And saw nothing wrong with that.
Let's pretend a moment this story is true.
One...he's a fucking racist asshole
Two he's such a sad sack he held his gun until he fell asleep as opposed to putting it back in its storage place because
Three he's a fucking misogynist and didn't trust a woman with his gun!

So IF his story is true he was sou afraid of the black man that he had to protect his women from can jacking and then fell asleep with a loaded weapon in his hands.

I can actually see that scenario.he woke up and jerked his finger. Spasms happen.

It still paints him in a very bad light, and neglective of a loaded deadly weapon!

But yeah, it's total bullshit.
He shot his wife.

[malaise]

14. Because it's bullshit

Let's see if the wife's best friend was his lover

[underahedgerow]

5. What do you want to bet that he's having an affair with the Best Friend? I'll bet a MILLION bucks on

it....

Come on, this is obvious as hell. Totally a plot to get rid of the wife!!!

[Monk06]

13. Yep the magic bullet missed his nuts and hit his wife in the chest from behind

It's his car why is the friend driving?

How does he reach the center consol from the back seat?

He gets the gun and then falls asleep

Ah it's Atlanta so blame the black folks caused it by making him afraid and then fall asleep with a gun

[NBachers]

8. Must've been a really thrilling exciting potential hijacking - he couldn't even stay awake.

No, no, sorry, I'm just not going to believe this steaming stack of shit he's trying to serve up.

"Hasn't he already been punished enough?"

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

11. Or think about locking the doors and calling 911.

[Catherine Vincent]

9. He'll get off

No doubt.

RIP.

10. BLM made me miss my court appearance

By the time I finished watching the shocking, horrible news about the incredibly violent BLM peaceful protest on Fox News I was screwed.

Thanks, BLM! I would have beaten the illegal weapon, terrorist threats, spousal abuse, and aggravated assault charges if it weren't for you!
