"Police say Lynn woman lying on couch was fatally shot
June 27, 2005
LYNN, Mass. --A woman found dead on her couch may have been killed when a bullet was shot through her ceiling, police said.
Kathryn Lally, 37, was found by her mother Sunday morning, on the couch where she was believed to have been watching a movie the night before, according to a police report obtained by The Daily Item of Lynn.
Eight people in the apartment above Lally's have been arrested on unrelated drug and weapons charges, and were to be arraigned Monday in Lynn District Court.
A hole was discovered in the ceiling of Lally's apartment, which was consistent with a bullet hole, the police report said. Smatterings of ceiling tile also were found on the coffee table near the couch.
Officers concluded that a bullet fired from the apartment above may have struck Lally, the report said.
Steve O'Connell, a spokesman for the Essex County district attorney, said Lally's body has been taken to the medical examiner's office for evaluation.
After a search of the apartment on the floor above where Lally was found, police arrested the eight people and charged them with marijuana possession. Four of the eight also were charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition.
Arrested the drug charge were: Joseph Castillo, 22; Terrence Giambusso, 19; Elease Davis, 21, and Melinda Lozzi, 22. Facing the drug and weapons charges were: Bobby Boyd, 23, of Lynn; Lorenzo Davis, 22, of Lynn; Christopher Hodgon, 19, of Lynn, and Jarmahl L. Sutson, 21, of Lynn.
O'Connell would not confirm if those arrested were suspects or related to the investigation into Lally's death."
The local news here is saying that somehow he accidentially fired the weapon while trying to clear a round in the chamber of his semi auto. I guess he was to high to remember to rack the slide FIRST before pulling the trigger.
