NO CHARGES IN GROTESQUE STUPIDITY PELLET GUN DEATH

by Bob Walsh

Regular readers may remember that about six months ago I wrote about the death of William Molina, 21, a college student one week from graduation at CSU Sacramento. The D A has just announced that, after a full investigation by both the P D and the D A that they are NOT going to file charges.

Molina was killed by a penetrating wound to the chest from a pellet gun. About four people per year are killed in the U. S. by such weapons. The discharge of a pellet gun or BB gun in the city limits except at a licensed shooting range is illegal in Sacramento.

The death occurred an the "unofficial" frat house for Pi Kappa Alpha. Molina was shot by a friend at about 0340 a.m. on April 12. I can't help but think there was probably some level of intoxication involved in the incident.
