'Rifleman's Journal' Host Gregory G. Rodriguez Killed in Murder-Suicide
The man, Wayne Bengston, shot Rodriguez upon seeing him visiting his wife at a house in Whitefish, Montana. Police say the two were chatting over a glass of wine. They don't believe the two, who met at a trade show, were romantically involved but Bengston may have thought there was more to the relationship. "After shooting Rodrigues, Bengston then beat his wife, took his 2-year-old son to a relative's house and drove to his home about 25 miles away in West Glacier, where he killed himself," says Police Chief Bill Dial. "She and Rodriguez were sitting at the kitchen table, talking over a glass of wine, when Bengston entered the house and shot Rodriguez," he explains. "We think that it was just a professional relationship, but perhaps the husband thought it was more than that. But that is just conjecture." In addition appearing on TV on his program in which he travelled the world in search of big adventures, Rodriguez was the founder and CEO of Global Adventure Outfitters, an editor at Shooting Times Magazine and a contributing editor at Petersen's Hunting and Guns & Ammo and Shooting Times. He was married with two young children and in Montana on business.
