What was the article about HST being killed that Imus was talking about?

Bernard said it was a very interesting article, but I didn't catch where it came from.

Son's shotgun tribute
Police heard shots as they headed to Thompson's ranch

Shortly after reporting the death of his father, Hunter S. Thompson's son walked outside to fire three shots into the air, according to reports released Tuesday.

Several Pitkin County sheriff's deputies heard Juan Thompson fire the shots as they approached the Woody Creek home, known as the Owl Farm.

A soft-sided gun case was found at Hunter Thompson's feet along with a spent shell casing and a semiautomatic Smith & Wesson model 645 handgun, Ryan's report said.

The gun's magazine had six bullets left in the clip, but no bullet was found in the gun's firing chamber, Ryan said.

"I think a bullet from the magazine should have cycled into the chamber, but if there's a malfunction, they may not," DiSalvo said.

DiSalvo said he hadn't checked the gun, but the weapon could have been on a manual cycle that would have stopped the other bullets from going into the chamber.

The spent slug was found in the stove's hood behind Hunter Thompson's body, investigators said.

:crazy: Is this supposed to be the gun Thompson used? If so why was one bullet in a stove, and the rest are still in the gun?

Does seem to be a little mystery going if articles are still being written about this. The son's behavior is a little strange. But, then maybe he takes after his Dad. I don't think many people would run out and fire a shotgun when their Dad just killed himself. Firing shots after an event is more like a celebration. Maybe it was his way of "sending him off," like a military salute, though.
