Six people were booked on drug and weapons charges after a 16-year-old apparently shot and killed himself during a game of Russian roulette, authorities said.

Jacob White, of Prairieville, and the older friends were playing the game and smoking marijuana when White apparently shot himself Wednesday at White's home, said Ascension Parish sheriff's Lt. Paul Robert.

While White and his friends smoked the drug, they passed two handguns around. Robert said White took one of the two guns, and loaded it with at least one live round and put the weapon to his head. It discharged after he pulled the trigger several times, Robert said.

The other six left; one youth's parents reported the shooting, Robert said. Investigators took two guns and drug paraphernalia from the house, he said.

It discharged after he pulled the trigger several times,

Now you got to ask yourself, "Did I pull the trigger four times or five?". Well did you feel lucky, PUNK.

Idiots.

I guess he was too stoned to realize you should only pull the trigger ONCE...not six times.

And using a semiautomatic with one round in it isn't a good idea either.

This guy would have argued that it's OK if you push the round way down in the magazine!

Seven people playing Russian Roulette. What are the odds, really? You can't make this stuff up.
