The corrupt cop accused of killing his girlfriend and shooting her friend says that the whole incident was merely an accident where he was actually threatening to kill himself. Jerry Bowens told investigators, "I threatened to kill myself and pulled out my gun and cocked the hammer. When I lifted up the gun, it accidentally went off, striking Catherine in the head." After Bowens's girlfriend Catherine Donofrio was shot, Bowens describes being in a trance as her friend Melissa Simmons raced into the bathroom. Bowens said, "I don't remember anything after that except that I began shooting into the bathroom and then ran out of the apartment...I remember seeing Melissa outside screaming about someone being shot in the building, but I didn't know who she was talking about." Bowens is locked up in Bellevue Hospital's psych ward, where he will receive an evaluation to see if he is fit to stand trial.
