Two pals took turns shooting each other in the head with a rifle while wearing kevlar helmets inside a home — with one man now being charged with the other’s murder, according to authorities.
The two pals were inside O’Donnell’s home — firing at each other with a rifle while wearing the bullet-resistant helmets when Prout was seriously injured by the gunfire.
Officials did not announce the type of rifle or how far away the two were from each other while taking the tragic target practice.
O’Donnell was charged with murder on Thursday and is currently booked in the Harris County Jail, according to the sheriff.

Yeah, government shills even ban bb guns and sling shots. Kids don't learn young that projectiles can hurt before learning that other projectiles can be deadly.
Firearms training should be part of the grammar school curriculum.
How many around the country are thinking ‘what helmet did these two Consumer Reporter wannabes test’?
A lot of people have idea how much damage a rifle bullet can do
You get shot in the head and you can have some serious injuries due to impact and shock even if the helmet works perfectly
“Authorities remain baffled...”
Good call back to those commercials,Real Men of Genius...
It’s not even a matter of the integrity of the helmet. The concussion at close range would be more than enough to get the job done
Obviously faulty helmets.
“Never occurred….”
Ah!
With friends like that, who needs enemies?

After seeing the mugshot I am convinced that some people are just meant to be examples of what not to do.

My dear departed father used to play that game with us when we were young. I have no idea why we kept agreeing to play it after the first time we lost.
Drugs, booze, stupidity? Guess we can choose which!
“Sean O’Donnell, 37, was taken into custody... in connection to the shooting death of Aaron Prout, 34, a native of the UK...”
A native of the UK? Was he an illegal alien? Will the body be returned to the UK? What was he doing here in the USA besides playing Russian roulette?
> Obviously faulty helmets. <
Before your sarcastic yet appropriate comment, I never considered it. But now I wonder if the dead man’s family will be suing the helmet manufacturer.
After all, it’s the American way.
