On March 23 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and
    concluded that he died from a gunshot wound of the head caused by a
    shotgun. Investigation to that point had revealed that the decedent had
    jumped from the top of a ten story building with the intent to commit
    suicide (he left a note indicating his despondency). As he passed the
    9th floor on the way down, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast
    through a window, killing him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the
    decedent was aware that a safety net had been erected at the 8th floor
    level to protect some window washers and that the decedent would not
    have been able to complete his intent to commit suicide because of this.
 
 Ordinarily, a person who starts into motion the events with a suicide
    intent ultimately commits suicide even though the mechanism might be
    not what he intended. That he was shot on the way to certain death
    nine stories below probably would not change his mode of death from
    suicide to homicide. But the fact that his suicide intent would not
    have been achieved under any circumstance caused the medical examiner
    to feel that he had homicide on his hands.
 
 Further investigation led to the discovery that the room on the 9th floor
    from whence the shotgun blast emanated was occupied by an elderly man
    and his wife. He was threatening her with the shotgun because of an
    interspousal spat and became so upset that he could not hold the shotgun
    straight. Therefore, when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed
    his wife and the pellets went through the window striking the decedent.
 
 When one intends to kill subject A, but kills subject B in the attempt,
    one is guilty of the murder of subject B. The old man was confronted
    with this conclusion, but both he and his wife were adamant in stating
    that neither knew that the shotgun was loaded. It was the longtime habit
    of the old man to threaten his wife with an unloaded shotgun. He had no
    intent to murder her; therefore, the killing of the decedent appeared
    then to be accident. That is, the gun had been accidentally loaded.
 
 But *further* investigation turned up a witness that their son was
    seen loading the shotgun approximately six weeks prior to the fatal
    accident. That investigation showed that the mother (the old lady) had
    cut off her son's financial support and her son, knowing the propensity
    of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the
    expectation that the father would shoot his mother. The case now becomes
    one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.
 
 Further investigation revealed that the son became increasingly despondent
    over the failure of his attempt to get his mother murdered. This led
    him to jump off the ten story building on March 23, only to be killed
    by a shotgun blast through a 9th story window.
 
 The medical examiner closed the case as a suicide."
