Ex-lawmaker arrested over fiance death
2009-09-13
[Iran Press TV Latest] Authorities say a former lawmaker was arrested for cutting his wrists and trying to threaten the police after his former fiancée was found shot to death.
He threatened police by cutting his wrists? The Iran Press TV speak the good English, yes?
Close. He was found by the police by his parents' graves with his wrists slit (presumably he didn't do it quite right), then was arrested after firing a .38 caliber at the police. It's understandable that the Iranians are confused. See here for all the details about the cad.
Republican Steve Nunn, a former state legislator from Kentucky, was not charged with the slaying but must be questioned about the shooting of his former fiancée, Amanda Ross, says Lexington police Lt. Doug Pape.

The Lexington-Harold leader reported that Nunn has been held under police guard after exposing a 38-caliber hand gun at six policemen at a cemetery where his mother and father were buried.

Amanda Ross's body was found with a gunshot wound at a parking lot. Screams and gunshots had been heard, a neighbor said. She was pronounced dead at University of Kentucky Hospital at 7:09 a.m., Police found Nunn at 10:30 a.m. at the cemetery, 100 miles away from Lexington.

Nunn was ordered to stay away from Ross for a year after a domestic violence incident ruled by Fayette county judge.

Once Nunn is in fair condition, he will be transferred to the Hart County Jail, from the hospital.

#1   his wrists slit (presumably he didn't do it quite right)

Probably used a cross cut (as seen on TV and in movies) rather than an inline cut. Those who use the cross cut usually see the police, those who use the inline are seen by CSI.
