It's Always Frustrating When Your Girlfriend Is Playing "Shoot The Gun" With You and Kills You

FloridaObviously - Any story that begins with people “playing” with guns is doomed from the start. This one is no exception. Florida resident Justin Holt was tragically shot and killed on Monday while he and his girlfriend were playing with their friend’s handgun. According to Florida news station WPBF, Holt and his friends were dry-firing the gun at each other for fun earlier in the day. After the friends were done playing with the gun, the gun’s owner loaded the weapon and set it on a table. Holt’s girlfriend Erin Steele never saw the gun’s owner reload the weapon. About two hours later, she picked the gun up, pointed it at Holt, and fired. Instead of the hearing the quiet click of a dry-fire, she saw her boyfriend fall to the ground in pain. She’d shot him in the chest. EMS forces arrived at the scene within minutes and took Holt to nearby Delray Medical Center. Their rescue efforts were in vain, though, as Holt died soon after arriving at the hospital. Boca Raton police interviewed all witnesses of the shooting. Everyone present gave the same account of events and confirmed that the shooting was absolutely an accident. Holt’s family spoke to the media and said they want no charges pressed against Steele. “We have a lot of compassion for her because she’s got to live with that, no matter what she does, for the rest of her life,” Holt’s grandfather, 82-year-old Michael DiFiore, told the Sun Sentinel.

Fucking hate when games turn sour. One second you’re laughing, playing GUTS doing dive-rolls over the couch firing blanks, and the next thing you know you shot the love of your life. It’s the Florida version of getting a chick pregnant after a night out drinking. You bring the girl back from Bentley’s and don’t bother wrapping it up cause you know there’s no way possible you can possibly fire anything off, then next thing you know it’s 7am and you are walking down Route 1 to the CVS to get the morning after pill. Ammo just popping out of nowhere will always and forever ruin lives.
