Move over, ‘snapping a selfie while driving’ guy. You’ve finally met your match.
According to the New York Daily News, 21-year-old Oscar Otero Aguilar accidentally shot and killed himself last weekend when he posed for a Facebook selfie while pointing a pistol at his face.
Aguilar had been … wait for it … drinking with some friends when he decided to snap a photo with his .45 caliber pistol. Police said he was unaware the gun was loaded and was waving it around when it accidentally went off.
The bullet struck Aguilar in the temple, but it didn’t immediately kill him. When officers arrived on the scene, they found him still breathing but attempts to save him were futile, as Aguilar died on the scene shortly thereafter.
While police have ruled the shooting was an accident, one of Aguilar’s friends was detained for questioning and another known only as “El Paco” went on the run following the incident, which, you know, is totally something an innocent person would do after an accident.
