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.

Selfies with a pistol ... Gun violence?

Must be more to the story.

It's right in the article. Possession of meth, with intent to distribute.

A’Meyah Eh. Sounds like ferals to me.

I grew up in a big eastern city. Dad had guns. After 3-4 years in the marines during WW2 he became a city cop. I was trained in gun safety at an early age.

None of my guns can take selfies.

I know! I paid a lot of dough for my Beretta 92FS and my Rugers but...just...dayum! None of those bad boys will snap a selfie.

Did I pay too much?

Give him a break. He was just trying to defend himself from the bear that was attacking him.

Yep, definitely a point and shoot model

FCOL, the case for DE-populating the planet only gets stronger.

RULE 5: DO NOT try to catch your pistol mid-air if you drop it. Let it hit the ground then pick it up.

“...even if someone claims “it’s not loaded!”

That’s the most dangerous gun, the one that’s “not loaded”.

Ms A’Meyah T. Brewton chose poorly.
