A 22-year-old Halstad man is dead after being shot and killed in a YouTube stunt gone wrong.
According to CBS affiliate ValleyNewsLive, Pedro Ruiz was killed when he instructed his pregnant girlfriend to shoot a .50 cal handgun at a book he was holding, thinking the book would stop the bullet.
Ruiz, a YouTuber, was reportedly trying to achieve YouTube fame and began amping up pranks him and his girlfriend would do.
On 6:30 p.m. Monday, the Norman County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 500 block of U.S. Highway 75 in Halstad on the report of the shooting. Despite treatment, Ruiz was pronounced dead at the scene.
Now, Ruiz’s pregnant girlfriend, 20-year-old Monalisa Perez, is in jail, charged with reckless discharge of a firearm. Her first court appearance is expected Wednesday.
The couple already has one child. The second child, a boy, is expected to be born in the coming months.
.357 inches = 9.06 mm
.454 inches = 11.53 mm
.308 inches = 7.82 mm
1. If it was a thick book, and the bullet hit the book, he may have died from the shock of the bullet hitting the book.
2. If it was a thick book, and she missed, he died from the bullet wound.
3. If it was a thin book, the bullet went through the book and he died from the bullet wound.
This will clear it all up for you.
“There are some folks in this world that are just not smart enough to keep living.
Too bad he was able to pass on those genes before the inevitable.”
You’re exactly right. The best thing I can think of is that HE won’t be fathering any more babies. However . . . SHE can have plenty more. And probably will.
Wow...thank you!
Evolution at work. Too bad they didn’t try this stunt *before* they started breeding.

Re: They said they had tested it already
Evidently not enough.
A good start on my nightstand.
She probably changed her Facebook status to single/available right after the shooting.
