he shot g/f in the head and she was only slightly wounded..?

 

..the gun must have been firing BB pellets as stated it was from a BB gun.

or the bullet missed her brain by about 3 feet.

He shot himself, hes dead, no hes not, the truth is out there somewhere, but who knows what the truth is?

You left out she is in grievous condition ????

Maybe thee media should wait to get some verified facts instead of thinking up a story to go to press!

Just logged in, Page 7, 7 hours later.  Is he dead yet?

He looked pretty dead to me in that video released yesterday,   
If he shot himself in the head he will probably end up as a vegetable anyway,  Maybe in a coma for months ? And who will pay the hospital bill?
But relax, in the next news report he will be dead.   
 

 

It's good stuff. 

Like trying to believe what your thai partner tells you. 

 

Shot, 

Gun in right hand but shot in left temple. 

Shot his lady.

Dead.

 

Oops, take two.

Not dead.

Not shot the lady..

 

 

Probably explains why I had a passport check coming through

Sa keao Tuesday afternoon. 

And they emphasized that I was Australian. 

(It was an Australian passport)

A different police division than the normal people. 

Pleasant enough though...

Dr Phuwadon Kittiwattanasan said that Bart Allen Helmus was in a critical condition at 3.30 am but was still on a respirator. 
 
His wife was also in a serious condition after he apparently shot her in the forehead. 
 
ER staff confirmed to the media around 4 am that the American was still alive, but barely. His heart was still pumping, they said. 
 

Damned foreigners can't do anything right, he should have got a Thai to do it and he and his wife would still be alive without any wounds.  Anybody going to start a fund for his hospital and medical fees?

'nuf sed.

They said the American fired at the police twice with a BB gun adapted to be a 9 mm. 

 

This guy is not your average person by the sounds of it....

Its possible to convert an air rifle or bb gun to take .22 but you are taking a few risks to go to 9mm

That's heavy stuff. 

Expensive too.

 

It's a wonder it didn't blow up and take his hand off.

The truth is not the truth ... Rudy Giuliani ..

I guess someone will let us know if or when what ever

Come on guys make up your mind. I have a bet this <deleted> with see the devil by monday don't dissapoint me gentlemen. This makes it good for those of us who do follow the Thai Law.

Woah, back the bus up. How do you turn a BB gun into a 9mm?

 

Replace the barrel with a real hardened steel gun barrel and add a firing pin.

Some of the replica BB guns are made to scale and probably not a super hard 

conversion - although stupid to shoot something like this.

 

 

 

 

If in doubt, just visit him at Phrayupharat Hospital and say you are a friend of his.
He owes you money for the car and the gun.

At what point in the saga did he aquire the fake gun ? Did someone make this in jail ?

Was it passed to him at the Courthouse ? Did they stop off and pick it up after escaping ?

Was it "found" at the crime scene by a bent copper? Nothing rings true about any of this.

 

Where is the link to report this as fake news ? It is going to take weeks to make up the vinyl story board for this and it will be 30 feet wide.......

Not a very good shot is he, missed himself and the wife. Thought they said he was dead ?? failing that he will have go fund me to get him back to health then he can try again next time try using a proper gun and not a B.B.

A very high percentage of stuff on here is fake (just my opinion) and lots of others i've asked  

Fantastic reporting except for the part about catching the woman who wasn't actually the woman, passing away of the American when in fact he hadn't. Clearly your pulling for his survival with a headline of, "not yet dead". And I want to see the BB gun that can stand the forces of a 9mm but there is probably some accuracy to this story if you look hard enough.

It was probably their illegal Chinese tour-guide; she didn't get them far, but then, she's only here for the shrimp-buffets.

Another English languge newspaper is reporting they are both in ICU, with the wife "bleeding in the brain" and not being pregnant!

They better come up with some thing solid soon or I will file the entire story under fake news..
