Man shoots himself dead explaining gun safety: Not how you do it
A Michigan man is dead this week after he accidentally shot himself with his own gun while trying to instruct his girlfriend in proper gun safety. According to CBS Detroit, “The victim’s live-in girlfriend told deputies that her 36-year-old boyfriend had been demonstrating the safety of his three handguns by holding them to his head and pulling the trigger.
The third gun fired and he was struck in the head.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. His name was not immediately released.”
Three young children, not related to the victim, were in the house at the time but thankfully did not witness the shooting. Sherriff’s officials investigating the incident say that alcohol use may have contributed to the accident.
