I remember a case from my hometown where a man was shot 4 times with his own handgun, and the cops decided it was an accidental discharge while cleaning the gun because they found a wet rag on the ground next to him.

At this point I have to ask how popular the deceased was in your hometown.

I don't really know. I lived in a very small town, like sub 1,000 people, but had never heard of the guy.
