Man’s suicide bullet also kills 16-year-old girl
EUREKA, Montana (AP) – A man who committed suicide at a party also killed a 16-year-old girl when the bullet travelled through his head and struck her in the chest, authorities said.
Jacob R Lee, 19, and Lorena Mocko, 16, were found shot to death at around 1:00 am Saturday, Lincoln County authorities said.
Lee shot himself and the bullet passed through him and fatally struck Mocko, Lincoln County Sheriff Daryl Anderson said yesterday.
“It was just a total freak thing,” said Jeri Mitchell, a friend of Mocko’s mother.
Mocko, who lived across the Canadian border in Fernie, British Columbia, was in town visiting her father and a boyfriend when she was shot, Mitchell said.
