Virginia Van Zandt shot herself in the chest with a .357- caliber handgun early Sunday evening, according to police. About 30 to 40 minutes later, her husband shot himself in the head with the same weapon, Binghamton detectives said.

How can the police really know if this woman shot herself in the chest? What rules out the possibility that the husband shot her in the chest and then later shot himself? Just because the wound was from close range or if her fingerprints were on the gun doesn't mean she did it to herself. The husband could have done it from close up and she could have touched the gun at some other point. Do they have some way of being able to know what happened for sure?
And is shooting yourself in the chest really that common for suicide? It doesn't sound like it would be nearly as quick and painless as in the head.
