VALRICO, Fla. (Gray News) - Deputies hoped doctors could save a woman who had been shot, but the bullet had already done too much damage. She died Sunday afternoon at Brandon Regional Hospital.

Investigators charged Andrew Shinault Friday with manslaughter with a weapon. Authorities booked Shinault into the Orient Road Jail on a $50,000 bond.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said Shinault and the woman were using his registered handgun in an act of foreplay. The gun went off and wounded the woman in her upper body.

Deputies did not identify the victim but described her as a woman in her 20s.

Shinault and the woman were using his registered handgun in an act of foreplay.

So how exactly.... No. Wait. I don't want to know.

[Texas Eagle]

Riiiiiiight. Unfortunately, she was unable to confirm or deny the story.

Good God, deliberately using it for fun?

Darwin Award.

And here I thought it might just be the guy had it on him and it went off during the hugging.

So sad for them to be so dumb. Never mind the general immorality.

Even if you did know what and how, you probably would not know why... must be one of those Florida things that us Texans and Gamecocks just wouldn’t understand.

Love your tagline, BTW.

Normally, on a go forward basis that guy would have trouble getting dates, but...Florida. He probably has marriage proposals already.

Triangle Man hates Florida Man.

Betting it was a Glock.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yep.i wonder how a gun gets involved in “foreplay” acts.

"Shinault and the woman were using his registered handgun in an act of foreplay."

Anti-gun propaganda baked right into the article. Florida does not have handgun registration.

[trisham]

I doubt it.

[depressed in 06]

Why was it loaded?

“Ok. I’ll pretend to be the rapist, and you pretend to be the rapee.”

[Fightin Whitey]

So how exactly..."

Simple. They were using it as a game cock.

[xrmusn]

No matter the intention and/or outcome, it was supposed to a gun NOT a paperweight.

[aquila48]

Florida.

[wbarmy]

Why was it loaded?

Stupidity, Darwin Award, take your pick. I can understand the "pretend rape" thing, but the "using a loaded gun" thing is a might weird.

“Ooo, Charlie. Wait a minute. Is that a snub nose?”
“Yeah, baby. But it’s a repeater.”
“Ooo.”

Anyone remember the Sopranos episode where Tony’s Sister and her crazy Boyfriend were having Sex? A Gun was involved.
