An ex-White House staffer was arrested in connection with the deadly shooting of a San Francisco State graduate. Police said officers responded to a home on 22nd Avenue on Tuesday night. There, they found 22-year-old Samantha Emge suffering from a gunshot wound. She was taken to the hospital b ut later died. Emge’s LinkedIn profile shows she graduated from San Francisco State with a degree in interior design and was working at a design firm in the city. Sources told the San Francisco Chronicle that 25-year-old Nation Wood was handling a gun inside his apartment when it went off. The bullet traveled through a wall and struck Emge while she was inside a bathroom. Investigators have since arrested Wood, who is facing involuntary manslaughter charges. “It’s very much a cautionary tale that if you mishandle a firearm and someone is killed, you can go to prison even if it’s a tragic accident,” Legal Analyst and Former Prosecutor Steven Clark said. Clark said the consequences can still be serious. “Involuntary manslaughter carries the maximum of four years in state prison, but if the DA files an additional enhancement, such as use of a firearm, that could make a person’s sentence even longer,” he said. Former San Jose police Officer Michael Leininger said the case will likely rely on physical evidence. Wood remains in custody on $300,000 bail. His next court date is set for April 1. ...read more read less
