That poor guy should learn how to aim. It would have saved the cops a lot of trouble.

Hey, I was watching the news this afternoon and come to find out police found out the kayaker had shot himself. They said the powder from the shot matched that of a smith and Wesson gun the kayaker owned. Just to make an already strange story stranger. No need for Kevlar pfd's anymore.

Just to clarify, it was finding powder residue on him to begin with that probably prompted to get the search warrant. When they found the gun they probably matched it through testing. They wouldn't however have taken the residue off his body and said "Do you own a Smith and Wesson?" That just isn't possible. A bullet on the other hand could strongly suggest the manufacturer because of the rifling marks.

Either way, it is good to hear it was not a random shooting on the water. I knew that whole situation didn't add up at all. I'm surprised it took so long to publicly announce that it looked self inflicted.

I knew the story was fishy from the start.

Poor guy shoots himself 3 times and is still alive.
