Soldier home on leave is shot by his wife, accidental.

"The soldier had been home for less than 24 hours when he was killed Friday by the friendliest of fire - at the hands of his wife, Christina. His death came just shy of their first wedding anniversary.

The two had gone to Tooele County, so Neil, 29, could show his wife how to shoot, said Tooele County sheriff's Chief Deputy Ron Matekel.

The couple had picked up a shotgun that day and had been shooting clay pigeons in a gravel pit along State Road 73 about 30 miles south of Tooele, deputies said. The gun was placed in the back of the SUV when it began to rain. Christina Neil was looking for an item in the vehicle when she lifted the shotgun and it discharged, deputies said."

This is sad and ironic in so many ways.
