Taking a selfie with a loaded gun ended tragically in Washington, when a man accidentally shot himself in the face while taking a picture. His girlfriend was next to him when the gun went off. The man apparently had been greatly against Donald Trump, and many of his selfies included violence and profanities directed toward presidential candidate Donald Trump. According to his girlfriend the photo was supposed to be a joke about killing himself if Donald Trump were elected president.
As she told the police, this was not his first selfie with the weapon.
The fatal accident took place over the weekend, police in Skagit County said.
The man, whose name has not been released, thought the gun was unloaded and attempted to take a selfie while pointing the weapon at himself, the Skagit Valley Herald reported.
The man’s girlfriend said the couple had taken several selfies with the same gun on Sunday. Each time, he would unload the gun before taking a picture and then load the bullets back afterwards.
However, this was not the case with the man’s last selfie, as he apparently left one fatal bullet inside the chamber before the final photograph.
