Wife of Eagles founding member Randy Meisner accidentally shot herself dead after drunken domestic disturbance.
The wife of founding Eagles member Randy Meisner accidentally shot herself dead Sunday after a drunken domestic disturbance at the couple's California home, police said.
Lana Rae Meisner, 63, called the cops around 5:30 p.m. to report a
drunken man in their Studio City house. Police took a domestic violence report and left without incident.
But Randy Meisner, 69, called police about 90 minutes later, saying his wife had been shot, police said.
His wife died in a closet after a rifle accidentally fired, hitting her in the face or head, a police source told the Daily News.
She had tried lifting the gun from a case, but another item in the case hit the trigger and pulled it, police said.
“Based on the evidence at the scene, it appears to be a complete accident,” a police source told the Daily News.
“No foul play whatsoever. There is nothing indicative that it was a murder at all.”
Randy was in another part of the house when the gun went off, police said. The former Eagles bassist has not been charged for any crime.
