Story:
Peachtree City (Georgia) Police responded to the home of Chief William McCollom at approximately 4:17 a.m. ET on New Years Day, Lt. Mark Brown said in a news conference.. He has served for a year as chief of the police department. Brown said. McCollom is a "well-liked, well-loved chief," Brown said. Peachtree City, a city of 35,000, is about 30 miles southwest of Atlanta.
Lt. Mark Brown said in a news conference that McCollom called 911 saying he accidentally shot his wife, Margaret McCollom, with his service weapon. The victim was airlifted to Atlanta Medical Center after officers arrived, according to Brown. She's in critical condition and unable to speak with investigators.
McCollom reportedly told a 911 dispatcher he had shot his wife twice. However, investigators found the woman to have been shot only once (in the couple's bedroom), Lang stated. Investigators would not say where the victim was struck. McCollom has been placed on administrative leave.
The chief has not been charged for the shooting but charges are possible depending on the results of the GBI investigation, Scott Ballard, Fayette County District Attorney, said.

=============================================
Why would the chief tell the 911 operator that he "accidentally" shot his wife twice instead of once? IF he fired twice but only hit once, how is that an "accident"? I hope Mrs. McCollom lives to tell.
