Genius cops play Russian Roulette. Hilarity ensues.

Remember, when you call 911 to have your problems solved, these are the fucking Einsteins who show up.

ST. LOUIS — A male St. Louis police officer was charged Friday with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of a female officer during what was described as a deadly game with a revolver.

Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner announced the charge against Nathaniel Hendren, 29, in the death of 24-year-old Katlyn Alix, as they allegedly played a game in which a revolver’s cylinder was emptied, one bullet put back and the two colleagues took turns pointing at each other and pulling the trigger.

Alix was with two male officers at an apartment when she was killed just before 1 a.m. Thursday. A probable cause statement from police, provided by Gardner’s office, offered a chilling account of the dangerous game that led to her death.

The probable cause statement said Alix and Hendren were playing with guns when Hendren produced a revolver.

“The defendant emptied the cylinder of the revolver and then put one cartridge back into the cylinder,” the statement said. He allegedly spun the cylinder, pointed the gun away and pulled the trigger.

The gun did not fire. The statement said Alix took the gun, pointed it at Hendren and pulled the trigger. Again, it didn’t fire.

Hendren “took the gun back and pointed it at the victim (and) pulled the trigger causing the gun to discharge,” the statement said. “The victim was struck in the chest.”

The other male officer told investigators he warned Hendren and Alix not to play with guns and reminded them they were police officers. He was about to leave when he heard the fatal shot, the statement said.

The male officers drove Alix to a hospital where she died. Hendren also is charged with armed criminal action.

The two men were on-duty at the time of the shooting. Police Chief John Hayden has declined to answer questions about why the officers had gathered at the apartment, which was home to one of the men.

St. Louis police said the charges were the result of a promise Hayden made to Alix’s family to conduct a “thorough and competent investigation.”

Alix, a military veteran who was married, was not working but met the men at the apartment.

Police immediately launched an internal investigation and placed both officers on paid leave. Gardner also began her own investigation on Thursday and enlisted the Missouri State Highway Patrol to conduct it.

Alix was a patrol officer who had graduated from the St. Louis Police Academy in January 2017.

So much going on, but one additional mystery was that the pd suv they used to bring her to hospital had its rear window broken out. Still nothing about that AFAIK.

I don't understand.  Was there not a defenseless dog or unarmed black child they could've shot at instead.

Heheh, that's more the dirty killers.

While on patrol they visit the fellow coworker "friend" a good distance from their patrol region who was off duty. While they are on job, visiting their friend outside their area of patrol, they thought they'd take up a fun game of Russian roulette. Oddly, the only unarmed person not on patrol and outside of her area while on the job, ends up dead. That seems reasonable.

Or, maybe they went there to convince someone they should be nice, make friends, maybe make some cash, keep quiet, stfu, because snitches get stitches. Things didn't go as planned. 

 

Oh I'm with you. 

1. No one plays Russian Roulette. Unless you're a suicidal psychopath drunk out of your mind.

2. If you were going to play, you put the gun to your own head for Christ's sake. You don't shoot each other. Hence the prerequisite for being suicidal.

The odds this isn't a murder are slim to none. And of all the cover-up stories they could have come up with they picked a braindead one.

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity. Y'all are really giving too much credit to the cops.

If they played traditional RR, where you aim it at yourself, would the living cop have committed a crime?   He didn’t point the gun at her, he didn’t pull the trigger.

When playing Russian roulette is the protocol to keep trading shots without a respin of the chamber?  I'm no mathematician, but that's got to hurt your odds.

Whose apartment was it?  I sounds like it was rented by one of the male cops, but not the shooter.

So these cops on-duty are chilling in an apartment. Nice. 

And this married chick spends her night off alone with 2 dudes in an apartment at 1am?  Even nicer.

ST. LOUIS • St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly M. Gardner on Monday questioned whether police tried to block drug and alcohol testing of on-duty St. Louis police officers who were present when an off-duty colleague, Katlyn Alix, was shot last week.

The letter to Chief John Hayden and Public Safety Director Jimmie Edwards says there was "probable cause at the scene that drugs or alcohol may be a contributing factor in a potential crime." 

 

 

In the letter, released Tuesday, Gardner says a police lieutenant erroneously told her office that a hospital would not honor a search warrant for the officers' blood. Gardner wrote that hospitals commonly accept search warrants in criminal cases.

Letter: St. Louis prosecutor criticizes investigation into officer's shooting

The letter says urine and breath tests were later performed, but not a blood test, which can be more exact. They later learned that the samples had been obtained by internal affairs in a way that may block their use in a criminal prosecution. Officers generally must comply with internal affairs investigations, but that compelled testimony or evidence can't be used against them in court.

Also - her mother released more photos, too much head tilt; would not bang, bang, bang (instead of holding the duck she should have learned to duck)

So these cops are either monumentally stupid or common criminals and habitual liars.  I'm SHOCKED!  I thought the were all HEROES!!!!!!!!!!!!

My theory: we’re eventually going to find out she was banging one of the other cops, they were partying and doing drugs etc regularly, somehow some shit went south (someone was gonna blow the whistle, something like that), high cop panicked and shot her.

My money is on “All lies!”

Also, third cop just heard the fatal shit as he was leaving. Yeah, sure. I imagine the post shooting conversation between him and the shooter went something like this-

“Nah, bro! I’ll say some bullshit and that I heard the shot, but there’s no way in hell that I’m testifying as an eye witness!”
