Today's Darwin award winner is...

Also notice in the story it says he was playing with a shotgun, and the later it says he was spinning the chamber.

Did he shoot him self with a Street Sweeper?

It also says gun not recovered.?????

It’s obvious the parents should sue the gun and ammo manufacturers. It’s their fault, right?

Though he died a fool
it is crude and cruel
to mock him with gusto and glee

Remember John Donne
not islands, but one.
so send not...it tolls for thee

Cruisito Leiba, 17, suffered a single gunshot wound to the head, said the Pueblo County Coroner's office.

Yeah. I'm guessing victims of Russian Roulette rarely sustain more than a single gunshot wound to the head.

'He shot it once, nothing happened,' his friend Selena Aguila told CBS Denver. 'He shot it twice, nothing happened. Then, he shot it the third time and we heard a big bang.'

You sure that's not called Polish Roulette?

Yeah, not very bright. Usually I have sympathy for someone who dies in a tragic accident, but this was of his own making. So, I’ll save my sympathy for another day.

This reminds me of an old ‘National Lampoon’ magazine cover.

Where six uniformed Russian plutocrats, five dead are playing Russian Roulette around a large round polished oak table. As the last Czarist stands and puts the automatic pistol’s muzzle to his temple.

I was never very good at figuring the odds on stuff but I dont think a solo game will leave many winners.

Also notice in the story it says he was playing with a shotgun, and the later it says he was spinning the chamber.

Tarus manufactures "The Judge", which is a revolver with a rifled barrel and a long cylinder which can hold 3" 410 shot shells. The cylinder can also fire .45 Long Colt cartridges.

There is a similar hand gun manufactured in the US, I think it's made by Smith & Weston.

BATFE regs require such guns to have rifled barrels. 410 shells are available with bird shot, buck shot, and rifled slugs, as well as a special load with buck shot and several flat disks.

PS These hand guns are not considered "short barreled" shotguns by the ATF. The dreaded "SB" shotguns aka "sawed off shotguns" fall under ATF regulations as Class III weapons and require you to file an ATF Form 4 and pay a $200 excise tax, failure to do that is a Federal Felony and carries a stiff fine and a long stay at the crowbar motel.

Fishy-sounding story. Seems especially odd that a law enforcement officer would refer to the act of shooting oneself in the head as a “game” that people shouldn’t play.
