Murder or suicide
I'm an elementary school teacher, so I can't read this with my students so I share with you. I found it on Facebook, 3 years ago.

Support your local coroner's office: die weirdly.

*Now comes the exquisite twist* then what the fuck is everything prior to that considered?

Probably manslaughter, attempted murder, and assault with a deadly weapon.

They used this story in the movie Magnolia. Good movie!

Anyone else hear the Law and Order "dun dun" after "Here is the story." ?

This is a law school hypothetical - didn't actually happen
nothisispatrickk1
Same thing happened to me. Yikes!

Wish there were more stories like this. I could read them at work for days instead of doing my actual job.

Nobody ever made up a story about serendipitous justice for the malevolent.

Watch the first 20 minutes of Magnolia

PS Not a real story, something made up as a thought exercise in the 1980s. (Check out Snopes)
SnarkyScience
Still an interesting thought exercise though.

actually it's manslaughter . negligent manslaughter
Kebabremover9000
Hmmm... solid point. +1
olegh
The one pulling the trigger bear all responsibility. Because there was no intent it isn't murder but manslaughter as you say
Qualtagh
Is accidentally killing yourself manslaughter? I'd assume it would just be marked down as "accident"

the person shooting the gun ... it's simple

I'm glad I came back to read this

This story was told at that conference as a hypothetical. Never actually occurred.

Ha! I knew this sounded familiar!

It probably was changed for the movie. It's the exact same story with some minor changes (10 floors vs 9, timeframe, etc)
