Morganton, NC -- A legally blind man fatally shot his wife while trying to balance a plate of fried chicken and a pistol, authorities said.

Kelly Honeycutt of Morganton was holding a .38-caliber pistol he found in a box while he and his wife were moving into a new home Monday night, said Burke County Sheriff's Sgt. Robert Beall said. He accidentally shot his wife Norita in the head after she handed her wheelchair-bound husband a plate of chicken, Beall said.

Beall said no charges were filed by investigators, but the case was sent to the county prosecutor's office for a final determination.

Beall said the husband was more than 50% blind, had limited movement and was in advanced stages of multiple sclerosis. His wife was his caretaker.

"They had a storybook marriage," Beall said. "No history of domestic violence, no indication of alcohol abuse. It just looks like a case of bad timing while handling a gun.

Oh gosh, NO kidding! As if this guy who is half blind and has multiple sclerosis dosent already have it bad, now he shot his wife/caregiver. I guess they should replace all of the 'dont smoke marijuana' ads with more 'dont play with a gun' ones.

thats a pretty good shot for a blind dude.

I bet the chicken tasted like ass and he was like "Bitch, I told you not to use that recipe anymore, Im gonna shoot your ass" then she laughed and said "fuck you, you blind piece of shit, how are you gonna shoot me if you cant even see" and he said "Bitch your head's the size of a god damn watermelon, how could I miss" then he shot her.
Elroy will tell ya, you dont fuck with a hungry blind man.

Could someone explain what a legally blind person is to me?

From wikipedia:

In North America and most of Europe, legal blindness is defined as visual acuity (vision) of 20/200 (6/60) or less in the better eye with best correction possible. This means that a legally blind individual would have to stand 20 feet from an object to see it with the same degree of clarity as a normally sighted person could from 200 feet. In many areas, people with average acuity who nonetheless have a visual field of less than 20 degrees (the norm being 180 degrees) are also classified as being legally blind. Approximately ten percent of those deemed legally blind, by any measure, are fully sightless.
