A Denver woman was allegedly shot to death by her own husband while on the phone with police after he consumed marijuana edibles and began hallucinating.


Kristine A. Kirk clung to her phone with a 911 dispatcher for nearly 15 minutes before her final scream was accompanied by a piercing gunshot late Monday night, NBC reported. When officers arrived at the 44-year-old's home they reported finding the mother of three dead at the scene after suffering a gunshot wound to the head. Her husband, Richard Kirk, 47, was taken into custody on suspicion of first-degree murder.


Kirk had allegedly been "talking about the end of the world and [saying] he wanted her to shoot him," moments before she was killed, 9News reported. Kristine allegedly told dispatch that her husband was hallucinating and scaring their young children, an officer confirmed to the Daily News.



:rofl2:

That's some pretty strong marijuana edibles.....these Denver pot heads are a violent bunch.

She must've been black
 
Is there ANY proof at all that smoking pot had anything to do with it? If so, how common of an occurrence is this compared to alcohol related shootings?

Guns and drugs don't kill people. Killers do.
 
The more we can convince people to choose weed over alcohol, the better off our society will be in all regards.

These anti-pot zealots are as hilarious as "reefer Madness".
 
Marijuana is legal in Colorado, therefore, they were not illegal drug users. This man had a very unusual reaction to ingesting marijuana, and it is most unfortunate that it ended in his wife being shot.
I can see this becoming an issue in the future. Ingesting weed, especially if you aren't the one who made the edibles, can be pretty intense. Nothing like the buzz from smoking.

They might have to include recommended dosages for those who buy these high potency edibles.

Personally, I don't like the buzz from eating it.
