A Denver woman who spent nearly 15 frantic minutes on the phone with a 911 dispatcher was killed Monday night by a bullet to the head before help arrived.
The gunshot was the last sound 911 dispatchers heard on their call with Kristine Kirk, 44, which lasted for approximately 12 to 13 minutes, said Denver police officer Raquel Lopez.
Kirk's husband, Richard, 47, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder, Lopez said. He is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.
In her call to 911, Kirk said her husband was "talking about the end of the world and he wanted her to shoot him," according to a probable cause statement filed in the case. There was a gun in their house, Kirk said at the beginning of the phone call, but it was locked in a safe.

(5,420 posts)This is the third "it was the marijuana, whut did it" type thread I've seen today. Looks like somebody is starting a bullshit campaign to try to prevent pot legalization.
They need pot to keep the prisons full.

Unbelievable.
I'll guarantee there was a knot of cops somewhere nearby surrounding some teenager's car, looking for weed.
Priorities, man.
