Wife Of Eagles Star Accidentally Shoots Herself

Lana Rae Meisner is found dead hours after police attended a domestic incident - but officers say there is no foul play



The wife of former Eagles member Randy Meisner has died after accidentally shooting herself in the head, police have confirmed.


Officers found Lana Rae Meisner dead from a single gunshot wound on Sunday at the couple's home in the San Fernando Valley.

Investigators have now revealed the 63-year-old was lifting a rifle from its case when another item inside shifted and hit the trigger.

Police had visited the home earlier on Sunday and took a domestic violence incident report.

Mr Meisner, 69, has been cooperative throughout the investigation, police said.

"Based on the evidence at the scene, it appears to be a complete accident," a police source told the Daily News.


"No foul play whatsoever. There is nothing indicative that it was a murder at all."

The source said Mr Meisner was in a different part of the house when the gun went off.

Mr Meisner was taken to hospital in the early hours of Monday morning, according to TMZ.

The musician co-founded the Eagles, playing bass and guitar before leaving in 1977.

Some comments from the news story on the MSN website...

I've shot guns my whole life, this was poor gun control on their part, or as Marita thinks, suspicious




Carl Madigan

Why on earth would you have a rifle loaded in its case?



Paul Holloway

Exactly, you wouldnt would you.



Carl Madigan

What else is in the case that would get inside the trigger guard? And how hard must she have pulled it to fire it? Why was she presumably pulling it by the barrel and not the stock to point to towards her head and allow the trigger to be pulled back?

The mention of the earlier domestic abuse call makes this very suspicious.

To be fair of course, we don't know who was the alleged perpetrator and who was the victim.

P.S. More information here.
