Lana Meisner, the wife of former Eagles rock band bassist Randy Meisner, was killed Sunday evening when a gun she was removing from a case went off accidentally at their North Hollywood home. There had been a domestic violence call earlier in the day, city police said on Monday.
Lana Meisner, 63, was pronounced dead at 7:10 p.m. PST on Sunday from a single gunshot wound, according to police and the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
About an hour and a half earlier, police officers had gone to the Meisner home in response to a woman’s call for help, reportedly because of a drunken man, multiple media outlets reported.
The police wrote up a domestic violence incident report and left the residence, but later were called back.
“It was determined that Mrs. Meisner’s death was accidental,” the police statement said. “Mr. Meisner was cooperative throughout the investigation.”
