By Catherine Thompson PublishedNovember 24, 2014, 6:49 AM EST
St. Louis police were investigating an incident in which a woman waving a gun inside a vehicle and saying she was "ready for Ferguson" apparently shot herself in the head by accident, CNN reported Sunday.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said the shooting occurred Friday night in the city's downtown area. Sources briefed on the investigation told CNN that a police report identified the victim as 26-year-old Becca Campbell.
The sources told CNN that the victim was involved in a car accident. Campbell's 33-year-old boyfriend, who was not identified, was driving the car and told investigators that Campbell began waving a gun around and joking that the couple were ready for Ferguson, the sources said.

Candidate for Darwin Award?
2nd the nomination for Darwin award.
I saw the apparent Facebook page of the woman. If it is the same person, she is an Obama/Michael Brown supporter, so this will not get extensive coverage unless her boyfriend is Officer Wilson.
I say the boyfriend shot her, loaded her into the car and ran into somebody on purpose.
Dead men (and women) tell no tales.
Oh, LORD, I don’t want to laugh!
Stay away from the rice-tag

The boyfriend rear ends another car because the girlfriend is waving a loaded gun in the passenger seat (that was just purchased) while joking about dending themselves against anticipated violence from the Furgeson MO Grand Jury decision.
This story sounds hard to swallow to me. But it fits a perfect narrative for the media. The gun killed this girl and the racists that bought it are proof that nobody should have access to guns. Expect this to be the end of the media investigation to what actually happened regardless of what authorities find out.
Could there have been a domestic dispute or an altercation in the car that involved a fight over the gun that caused the car accident? Or did the boyfriend attempt to take the gun from the girlfriend when it went off, hitting the girlfriend and causing the distraction that led to the accident? Forensics should help paint the pitcure. I look forward to follow up stories.
Yes. There are several odd things about this, including the fact that she was a Mike Brown protester. No wonder the cops are looking at the boyfriend’s version of events.

“Do you know why you don’t see a sign?” Lol
Hmm. I don’t even know what to say to this. I want to feel sympathy yet it is difficult.
She’s also white.
Thanks for the dating tip!
Waving a gun around in a moving vehicle has never been a viable, long term strategy for survival.
Some white cops fault again?
