Promising young graduate was shot dead by boyfriend's dad during antique gun show-and-tell gone horribly wrong, autopsy report suggests

A father accidentally shot his son's girlfriend dead as he showed off his antique gun that he did not realize was loaded, a coroner's report alleged.

Whitney Harlow Robeson, 22, died from a single gunshot wound on March 7 at her boyfriend Brandon Towers' home in Trussville, Alabama.

The Jefferson County Coroner's Office called the shooting an accidental homicide at the time, until Brandon's father was abruptly arrested on May 11.

Jeffrey Scott Towers, 54, was charged with manslaughter and released on a $30,000 bail hours later, but court documents did not reveal how Robeson was shot.

However, the autopsy report alleged Towers was showing off his antique gun collection when Robeson was visiting Brandon.

Towers was allegedly holding a Colt Navy single-action revolver that he did not realize was loaded, and it went off unexpectedly.

The bullet tore into Robeson's chest, causing a fatal 'injury to [her] left lung, heart, and aorta,' according to the coroner's report.

Robeson, a recent university graduate, had just started as a trade consultant with Restoration Hardware in Birmingham, Alabama, when she was killed.

What an idiot!
Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy.
Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
