"Rodriguez died from multiple gunshot wounds to the torso, arm, shoulder and right leg, the police chief said."

Here is where the woman Greg was visiting works. Pretty interesting product here.

I fail to see where she works has any bearing
Most people here know, or should know Proof Reas.

Pretty offensive, huh? Life is tough for some people, I guess.

I'm guessing it means she's likely not a employee of Mr. Rodriguez, as some have asserted, right?

I understand that she is employed by Proof Research.

A West Glacier man killed a well-known Texas hunting expert Thursday night in Whitefish in an apparent crime of passion before assaulting his wife and later killing himself, according to the Whitefish Police Department.

Greg G. Rodriguez, 43, of Sugar Land, Texas, was visiting Lindsey Bengtson at her mother�s home on River Lakes Parkway in Whitefish when her husband, Wayne Bengtson, 41, showed up.

�Mr. Rodriguez was up here on business, apparently, from what we have found out, and had stopped to talk with [Bengtson�s wife] for the evening and have a glass of wine,� Whitefish Police Chief Bill Dial said during a press conference Friday.

Dial said Bengtson showed up while the pair were in the kitchen, cursed at them and immediately fired four shots from a .44-caliber revolver from three feet away.

The shots hit Rodriguez in the torso, arm, shoulder and right leg, killing him almost instantly. The shooting occurred around 10:30 p.m.

Bengtson then assaulted his wife, hitting her with the pistol at least once, leaving her with a concussion, a black eye, swollen lips, and several contusions. She was treated at North Valley Hospital and released that night.

After the assault, Bengtson took their 2-year-old son, who had been asleep in a downstairs bedroom, and fled the home. He dropped the child off, unharmed, at a relative�s home in Columbia Heights before driving to his own home in West Glacier.

Flathead County deputies found Bengtson�s truck in the driveway of his West Glacier home off U.S. 2 behind Glacier Raft Co., and the SWAT team was deployed. The team was unable to contact Bengtson and eventually entered his home at about 4 a.m. They found him in his bedroom, dead of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

According to Dial, Bengtson�s wife said they had argued recently but not seriously, and there had been no indication that he would do anything like what he did Thursday.

Dial said it is also believed that the relationship between Bengtson�s wife and Rodriguez, who had met each other at a trade show, was purely professional, and the reason for the visit was to talk about a business-related project. Lindsey Bengtson works for a local firearms manufacturer.

�Perhaps the husband thought maybe it was more than that,� Dial said.

Dial said there was no indication Bengtson was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crime.

Law enforcement officers later located the child taken from the house.

�We called Child Protective Services and they have intervened to make sure that the mother and the child are adequately cared for and are reunited appropriately,� Dial said.

The woman�s mother was out of town at the time of the incident.

Rodriguez was known as an outfitter, hunting consultant, award-winning outdoor writer and marksmanship consultant.

He had connections with the Flathead Valley firearms industry and previously had worked with Proof Research.

Rodriguez was the founder and chief executive officer of Global Adventure Outfitters. According to the organization�s website, Rodriguez had hunted in 21 countries on six continents � including 55 African safaris � and taken 140 species of animals.

He hosted �A Rifleman�s Journal� on The Sportsman Channel, which premiered on June 30, 2012, and was the recipient of a 2012 Sportsman�s Choice Award for best educational/instructional show. The second season was scheduled to start in July of this year.

�A Rifleman�s Journal� tracks Rodriguez�s hunting travels to exotic locations, according to a Sportsman Channel description.

Rodriguez also was a shooting editor at Shooting Times Magazine and a contributing editor at Petersen�s Hunting, Guns & Ammo, and Dangerous Game.

His writing has been published internationally as well. Rodriguez had served as president of Safari Club International Houston and as vice president of the Houston Safari Club.

He lived in Texas with his wife, Lisa, and two children, Chloe, 14, and Cole, 12.

Thanks for posting that update...hopefully some of the speculators will read it and STFU....

would be nice wouldn't it...gotta love the internet crime experts on here ....

How dare we speculate on a story!



At the Campfire no less.



lolol

From the other thread:


This should end it but it won't

Nope. I could start a thread on the Hunters Campfire giving away free gold bars and within four pages it would turn into a pizzing match somehow.

Oh, well...the other good thing about the relative anonymity of the innanet is that it makes it easier to call these people azzhats....

Linsey Bengstson works for Proof Research in the sales dept. so it is quite possible she and GregR got together for some industry gossip. Too bad it ended up as industry gossip.

I hope someone can convince Mr. Bin to delete this thread, promptly. Families read and have feelings.

That would be the point when you ran out of gold bars.

People are [bleep]...

This one AND the other two.....

I really hate that this happened.In no way was the shooting justified.It would not have happened though if a married man hadn't been spending time alone with a married woman.All I'm saying is that it is never a good idea for a married man to be alone with a woman other than his wife if at all possible.

My heart goes out to the children and I will be praying for the whole family.

Since this site is on Greg's computer, they (family) will read these threads along everything else he wrote here.
