Monday’s death of President Ronald Reagan’s press secretary James S. Brady has been ruled a homicide resulting from the gunshot wound he suffered in the assassination attempt on Reagan in 1981, more than three decades ago.

What a show. The medical examiner evidently is one slick politician.

Wiki:

Brady died in Alexandria, Virginia, from undisclosed causes, at the age of 73. His family announced his death on August 4, 2014.[13] On August 8, 2014, his death was ruled a homicide[2] caused by the gunshot wound he received in 1981, approximately 33 years after the fact. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office stated prosecutors are reviewing the ruling and that his office “has no further comment at this time.”[2] A Brady family spokesperson could not immediately be reached for further comment, adding, “Jim had been suffering health issues since the shooting.”[2]

That's the quote, folks. Sounds like some confusion abounds. Re-read the last sentence.

Kinda makes you question the "firearm death" statistics we see released by government agencies, doesn't it?

My Dad lost a leg and suffered a host of other wounds in the Korean War that caused him a great deal of problems throughout his life. He died in 2010 at the age of 79. By this logic shouldn't his have been ruled a combat death?

Sounds reasonable to me! Him and every other wounded vet throughout history.

What strange timing.... Now that the recent ruling on carrying in the District is being appealed, we now have a fatal political shooting that can be used as a reason to deny persons the right to carry guns.
