Cole told deputies that the victim arrived at her home with a revolver. The victim was holding the revolver by the barrel and placed it on a table in the living room. The two began to talk when the victim walked away from the defendant and left the gun on the table, Cole said.

The victim entered a bathroom and was seated on the commode when Cole approached the doorway with the revolver. The victim asked what she was doing and attempted to stand up. Cole said she told the victim "no" and he moved toward her, so she fired the revolver, striking him.

Evidence was located in the residence that corroborates Cole's statement. Charges of murder without premeditation were requested.
