When One Bullet Isn’t Enough

What do four European politicians, a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist, and a police informant all have in common?

  • Pierre Bérégovoy – French Socialist politician. He served as Prime Minister under François Mitterrand from 1992 to 1993, two bullets to the head (5/1/1993)
  • François de Grossouvre – French politician in charge of overseeing national security and other sensitive matters, discovered dead, two bullets in his head (4/7/1994)
  • Gary Webb – Pulitzer prize-winning American investigative journalist best known for his 1996 “Dark Alliance” series of articles, two gunshot wounds to the head (12/10/2004)
  • Yuriy Kravchenko – Ukrainian police officer and statesman, two gunshot wounds to the head (3/4/2005)
  • Zamanbek Nurkadilov – Mayor of Almaty in Kazakhstan, shot twice in the chest and once in the head but “Government of Kazakhstan ruled his death a suicide” (11/11/2005)
  • David Jacobs – steroid dealer and police informant, multiple gunshot wounds (6/5/2008)

If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, these fellows must’ve had more than a little knowledge – how else can you explain the need to shoot themselves twice – in the head ..?
