Man, 23, accidentally killed with shotgun after friends shoot each other with rubber bullets: Fresno County Sheriff’s Office
KTLA ^ | 12/15/20 | Disassociated Press

Posted on 12/15/2020 1:24:26 PM PST by eyeamok

Hernandez, Smith and a third unidentified man were drinking alcohol before the unidentified man went to bed. That’s when the other two found some rubber bullets and decided to shoot the sleeping man for a joke. They put a mattress on top of him and fired one of the rubber bullets at the mattress, waking him up, he said.

Smith then told the man that he could fire one of the rubber bullets at him as payback. Smith put on a military-style helmet and a protective vest and was shot with one of the rubber bullets, before telling Hernandez that he could also fire a rubber bullet at him. Mistakenly, Hernandez picked up a shotgun loaded with highly lethal 00 buckshot and hit Smith in the upper body.

Feel Good Story for the day.

If you play stupid games you win Stupid Prizes. We did some stupid stuff when I was young, but we DID NOT SHOOT each other, Darts maybe.

No story that begins like that is ever going to have a happy ending.

I sure hope they were all wearing masks and practicing Social Distancing while shooting at one another! It’s a dangerous Covid-filled world out there and someone could get hurt - or WORSE!

Wait...WHAT? *SMIRK*

Loud and messy is my guess.

We played “Army” a lot as kids...Two different neighborhoods...We each had our own “Army”...

we got tired of saying “I got you!!!” Then hearing “No, You missed!!!”

So we started using our BB guns (stupid)...No one got hurt (somehow)...

It all ended when our “Army” made hand grenades from Cherry Bombs and gravel wrapped with aluminum foil....

Parents went wild on us...

Yeah we did play with bb guns too, but as I got older I decided to play Army with the Girls, I would lay down and let them blow the hell out of me.

When I was a kid I had a metal Luger pistol that shot bee-bees.

We used BB guns and bottle rockets. Fired them from empty coke bottles. No one got seriously hurt. Good boy fun.
