Man Shoots Himself In The Head While Bragging About Gun Safety

Posted by | September 7, 2015 10:30 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly


The Phoenix man pointed the gun at his head to show how effective the double safety feature was, then pulled the trigger.

23-year-old Christen Reece was out drinking and after he bars closed at around 3 or 3:00 in the morning, he had a bright idea which he presented to his six friends: “Let’s go to the high country and shoot guns,” he said.

“You know, there’s not really a lot to the story other than don’t drink and shoot guns,” explains Jim Molesa, chief deputy of the Navajo County Sheriff’s Office, which is conducting the official investigation, according to the Phoenix New Times.

The friends ended up on the side of the road near a wooded area to do a little target shooting.

Reece told his friends of the feature on his gun which had a double-safety making it impossible to ever go off unexpectedly, so he decided to demonstrate this for his buddies.

“He held the gun up to head, a little behind the temple area, and fired,” Molesa said of the Sept 2nd incident. “He immediately dropped to the ground, and his acquaintances started freaking out, not sure what to do.”

Reece’s friends panicked. There was no hospital nearby, so they took his unconscious and bloody body to the fire station, where paramedics were on duty.

Reece’s friends took off. Police have identified two of them but are hoping to find the others to interview them, the Phoenix New Times reports.

    After two drunk Marines beat the shit out of each other at Camp Geiger, our Gunnery Sgt. addressed our formation and declared if he had his way, to be a Marine, you’d have to be 26 and able to hold your liquor. I was 19 and I can’t remember if at the time if I agreed with him wholeheartedly or not, but I sure as hell do now. If a friend says lets go shooting, after having a few drinks, don’t go! If you know a friend has a firearm on him, after having a few drinks, leave the vicinity. Quickly! Drinking doesn’t mix well with anything. Well, except maybe sex since it really doesn’t require a lot of attention to detail. But basically, if a drunk tells you the safety is on, IT ISN”T!
