I knew a fellow....A huge man..........That offed himself with a Ruger 10/22......First shot to his head. didn't kill him or knock him out..........His second shot completed the task.

I live near Adamsville and according to the old timers I met when I first moved to the area in 1996 Pusser was as crooked as those he arrested. The findings in the recent investigation really do not surprise me.

I always skeptical of "newly discovered evidence" that is used to destroy the reputations of those who are not around to defend themselves. The stories about Bill Jordan killing a fellow Border Patrolman only surfaced years after his passing.

I have kinfolk that live up on the Mississippi side of the state line and have during that time and they say they same thing.
Perhaps like Pusser, Jordan did a good job of hiding his past. Keeping things quiet.
Re Bill Jordan accidentally shooting and killing a Border Patrol agent on the other side of his office wall while practicing his fast draw, I think the story is fiction.
If it had happened, I don't think it could have been covered up. (If the victim had been your family member, or friend, could you have somehow been induced to keep quiet about it? And, what about everyone else within earshot or who knew the guy? My understanding is that there are no contemporary accounts of this death happening.)
Internet lore, a myth, an apocryphal story, I believe.

I have it on good authority that the person that shot Pusser was Bill Jordan.

My Magic 8 Ball, but my Ouija board confirmed it.Is that authority the National Enquirer, The Guardian or the Daily Mail?

Very unfortunate incident and it wasn't covered up. You're late to the party. Much written about this long before the Internet.
Sources?

You need to do your own research if you have doubts; old gun magazines, etc.
It's not in any old gun magazines.
The story's kernel of truth is a self admitted ND into the floor in Jordan's 1965 No Second Place Winners.
The through the wall and hit another agent, killing him, etc., evolved on the internet, decades later.

My Uncle, a Captain in the Johnson City, Tennessee Police Dept met Buford Pusser - he said he liked him
Thats neither here nor there but, i would never believe any man would shoot his wife then turn a .30 cal on himself and shoot himself multiple times- if anything is a fairy tale, then thats it lol

For what it's worth, on page 337 of the book shown above, "Ghost Tales of the State Line Mob." It shows this photo in evidence of the murder case. Those are not 30 Carbine shells. This book, previous page, indicates the rounds were fired from a 1918A BAR.
