Georgia deputy's girlfriend shot dead during "make-up sex" after night of fighting and drinking

Officials in Georgia are investigating the death of a woman who was shot in bed as she was being “intimate” with her boyfriend, who was a Walton County deputy, after the two had spent the evening drinking and arguing.

According to a police report obtained by WSB, 20-year-old Nikki Guined and 21-year-old Deputy Dwight Buchanan had fought while partying with friends in the home that they shared in the early morning on Dec. 10.

The two reportedly reconciled before heading to the bedroom, where the couple was described as “intimate.”

“Nikki asked Dwight for his pistol,” the police report said. “Dwight was reluctant to do so, but gave Nikki his unloaded pistol. Nikki repeatedly asked Dwight, ‘Don’t you trust me?’ She then asked him to load the pistol. Dwight took the pistol from Nikki, loaded it with a magazine and chambered a round. He then removed the magazine and gave it back to Nikki.”

“She then placed the muzzle of the gun under her right jaw and pulled the trigger.”

Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman told WSB that alcohol had been involved before the shooting occurred.

“You just don’t know what led up to it,” Chapman observed. “We don’t know what she was thinking.”

“I can’t sit here and say he was at fault in any way, or that he wasn’t at fault. I just don’t know,” the sheriff added. “On my behalf it is different, because it involves an employee and I want to make sure that there’s no questions in anyone’s mind as to what happened in that house that night.”

I haven't seen the evidence, obviously... but something sounds fishy...

he's an idiot who should never have had a gun, much less the authority of a police officer.

But maybe he really is just an idiot. This is a story that I think might just be too stupid to be a lie.

To top it off, he's a cop. You would think he'd know better and have his firearm secured.

"Dwight took the pistol from Nikki, loaded it with a magazine and chambered a round. He then removed the magazine and gave it back to Nikki."

Even if we accept his story at face value, and setting aside the stupidity of playing with a gun at all in this manner, what was his reasoning for loading the gun then going through a motion that could very easily have looked like unloading it? Did he forget that he'd chambered the round? Did he erroneously believe that his firearm had a magazine disconnect? Was he deliberately setting the stage for an 'accident'?

I mean you would have to think this has to at least be considered as some type of negligent manslaughter or something. He set the stage for this to happen.

He chambered a bullet then removed the magazine to make her think the gun was unloaded then egged her on to put it in her mouth and pull the trigger telling her its unloaded.

her having a full clip wasn't a good idea, in case she decided to start shooting at him instead...

We ought to be ashamed.

A 21 year old punk bastard gets away with murdering a woman and all Sheriff "Joe" can say is “We don’t know what she was thinking.”.

Makes so much sense that the NRA is pushing for bars to allow concealed weapons.

The clip part makes no sense. He either egged her on knowing it was loaded or he shot her. Of course he doesn't have to worry about a trial.
