In the early morning hours, police, responded to a call reporting a possible

As they evacuated two young children from the front part of the house,
officers heard a gunshot come from the master bedroom. There they found the
comedian's body in bed. Police say they are sure that 40 year old Brynn
Hartman shot herself.

spent eight seasons on Saturday Night Live. Seen here with comdian Chris
Farley, another Saturday Night Live player who died last December, Hartman was
known for his comic portrayal of President Clinton.

Once 24-potential jurors are selected, the list will be narrowed to 12 jurors and 2 alternates.
