> A male St. Louis police officer has been charged with
involuntary manslaughter in this week's shooting death of a
female officer in what was described as a deadly game with a
revolver, according to a probable cause statement.
>
> Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner announced the charge Friday
against Officer Nathaniel Hendren, 29, in Thursday's death of
Officer Katlyn Alix, 24.
>
> “I will hold people accountable regardless of their
profession, public status or station in life,” Gardner said in a
statement.
>
> The pair were allegedly playing the game in which they took
turns pointing a gun at one another, with one bullet in the
chamber, in a modified version of "Russian roulette," according
to court documents.
>
> Hendren was charged with two felonies: involuntary
manslaughter and armed criminal action, a report said.
>
> A probable cause statement from police offered a chilling
account of the dangerous game that authorities said led to
Alix's death inside Hendren's home.
>
> "The defendant emptied the cylinder of the revolver and then
put one cartridge back into the cylinder," the statement said.
He allegedly spun the cylinder, pointed the gun away and pulled
the trigger, for which the gun did not fire.
>
> The statement said Alix then took the gun, pointed it at
Hendren and pulled the trigger, when it again didn't fire.
>
> Hendren "took the gun back and pointed it at the victim (and)
pulled the trigger causing the gun to discharge," the statement
said. "The victim was struck in the chest."
>
> Alix was taken to St. Louis University Hospital where she
died, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
>
> Hendren and his partner were working a late shift Wednesday,
but traveled to his house two miles away from the southeastern
border of the district of their assigned patrol area, the paper
reported. They were required to remain in their assigned
district at all times, the report said.
>
> Alix, an Army veteran, was off-duty and met the men at the
home, where she was killed just before 1 a.m.
>
> Police Chief John Hayden has declined to answer questions
about why the officers had gathered at the apartment.
>
> St. Louis police said the charges were the result of a promise
Hayden made to Alix's family to conduct a "thorough and
competent investigation."
>
> Alix was a patrol officer who had graduated from the St. Louis
Police Academy in January 2017.

This isn't really Russian roulette. They were shooting at each
other. I don't know what you'd call this game. Other than
fucking ridiculous.

Why didn't they all just go buy some damn lottery tickets? Would
have had a better outcome than this stupid game... even if they
all lost.

Math.

Update:
Looks like there could be some "cop blocking" going on...
--- Quote ---
> St. Louis police may be blocking investigation into officer’s
death, prosecutor says
>
> In a letter released Tuesday, a St. Louis prosecutor has
raised questions about whether the city’s police department was
blocking an investigation into an officer allegedly fatally
shooting a fellow officer.
>
> In the letter, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner accuses
the police department of being “obstructionist” in the
investigation and claims that investigators reached a
“pre-disposed conclusion” about the death of Officer Katlyn
Alix, 24.
>
> “There was probable cause at the scene that drugs or alcohol
may be a contributing factor in a potential crime,” Gardner
wrote Monday to police Chief John Hayden and Public Safety
Director Jimmie Edwards.
>
> She added that initial claims that the shooting was an
accident or resulted from a "mishandled" firearm were
"inappropriate."
>
> Edwards, in response, called Gardner's "obstructionist" claim
"ludicrous" and said the claim that alcohol and drugs may have
been at the scene was "a bad assumption," the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch reported.
>
> Officer Nathaniel Hendren, 29, was charged Monday with
first-degree involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action
in the death of Officer Katlyn Alix, who was shot in the chest
about 1 a.m. Thursday inside Hendren’s home, authorities have
said.
>
> If convicted on the manslaughter charge, Hendren faces three
to 10 years in prison, FOX 2 of St. Louis reported.
>
> Hendren’s booking was delayed because he spent the weekend
hospitalized. A booking photo shows him with a black left eye.
>
> The officers were reportedly playing a Russian roulette-style
game, taking turns pointing a weapon at one another and firing,
with only one bullet in the chamber.
>
> According to Gardner’s letter, police “would not honor a
search warrant to draw blood” in an effort to determine if
Hendren was under the influence of alcohol or drugs during the
shooting.
>
> Alix was off-duty at the time, but Hendren was on duty,
authorities have said. It was unclear why he was at home instead
of on patrol, according to authorities.
>
> Meanwhile, Hendren’s attorney, Talmage Newton IV, issued a
statement Tuesday denouncing rumors that he claims have been
spread about the case.
>
> “We are aware of the rumors, innuendo, and salacious gossip
surrounding the accidental death of Officer Katlyn Alix,”
Newton’s statement said. “There is no evidence, nor will there
ever be, that this was anything more than a tragic accident.
Nate Hendren is devastated by the loss of Katlyn Alix. Spreading
rumors and creating unsupported theories is dishonorable on the
part of the public, the police department, and the media. Our
thoughts and prayers continue to be with Officer Alix’s family
during this difficult time.”
>
> Hendren’s partner, who was also at the scene of the shooting,
was placed on administrative leave, according to reports.
>
> After being taken into custody, Hendren was reportedly moved
to a jail outside the city as a safety precaution, reports said.
