An Illinois man has pleaded guilty to accidentally shooting and killing his girlfriend as they posed for selfies with a gun.

Isaiah Cole, 20, and A’Meyah T. Brewton, 21, were taking snaps with the handgun in front of a mirror in September when the tragedy unfolded, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Assistant State’s Attorney Robert Money said Cole was under the influence of marijuana when he removed the pistol’s magazine and put a bullet in the chamber before then mistakenly reloading the gun.

This white supremacy is getting out of hand. The Man invented the automatic to genocide blacks. And in Chicago it’s working.

Obviously that gun is racist.

Assistant State’s Attorney Robert Money said Cole was under the influence of marijuana when he removed the pistol’s magazine and put a bullet in the chamber before then mistakenly reloading the gun.

Guns and alcohol or as in this case drugs, are a bad combination. Feel sorry for the lass.

If he was taking selfie’s with that pistol, he’s a terrible aim.

he could be released from prison in about a year, according to the report.

He had meth with intent to distribute.
He shot and killed someone.
I imagine firearm laws were violated.

I always figure that if I screwed up in any way, they'd throw the book at me (like the Jan 6 protesters) and I'd do serious time. Just because. But a guy like this? With the crimes he's racked up? We'll just let him out in a year.

Whahhh? Removing the magazine doesn’t put a bullet in the chamber. Racking the slide does. Doesn’t the journalist know anything about guns?

This idiot obviously forgot about the bullet left in the chamber and then put the magazine back in. This time he didn’t rack it, but that bullet in the chamber was still there, lol. This is the cause of most accidental shootings IMO, which is why I taught my 10 yo grandson to ALWAYS check the chamber, even if someone claims “it’s not loaded!”

You can use your gun to take selfies - but only once.
