Agreed. There are a lot of people and a lot of guns in the world, so I won't say that it's never happened. The vast majority of those cases, though, are suicides or failed suicides where they're trying to save face and/or make sure the life insurance still pays out.

Life insurance does pay in the event of suicide! Depends on the length of time between taking the policy and, uh, execution. Terms and conditions may apply!
