Hidden gun used
Brother says he didn't think anyone knew where
rifle kept
By NOVA PIERSON, CALGARY SUN
TSUU T'INA NATION -- Harry Jacobs didn't think anyone
knew where he kept his gun, he told the fatality inquiry into the
deaths of his sister-in-law and nephew yesterday.
The rusty 1885 Winchester .303 he'd found in a field and hidden
in Connie and Hardy Jacobs' basement was the one Connie used
March 22, 1998 when she shot at Const. Dave Voller.
The Okotoks RCMP officer shot back, killing Connie and
nine-year-old Ty, who was standing behind her, almost instantly.
Harry, the soft-spoken brother of Hardy, told the inquiry into
their deaths that Hardy knew the gun was "only in the basement"
of the home.
To his knowledge, Connie and their four children, including Ty,
didn't know where it was hidden.
Harry Jacobs told the inquiry he, Hardy and a friend were
walking through a field on the nation in July 1997 when they
found the rifle.
"I was thinking somebody owned it, to give it back to them and
maybe get a reward," Harry said of his decision to hold on to it.
But he also said he didn't turn the gun into police because he
didn't "know how to go about it. I also thought that was a piece
of garbage, this thing."
He'd hidden the gun 2.4 metres above the ground on an electrical
box.
He said a stool in the basement where he slept last February and
March couldn't be used by children to reach it because "the
children would be too weak."
Harry placed the five bullets he had left after test-firing the rifle in
a tool cabinet, underneath "an old dead bird's body with the
feathers still on it."
He said he'd left a rod with a bolt-lock in the rifle "at all times."
The inquiry also heard from Barry Otter, an 18-year-old nephew
who called 911 after dropping Ty off at the house and found
Hardy bleeding profusely above the eye.
Social workers were then called to the home, who later called in
Voller to help them take the children.
