There's probably a really funny pun or joke to be made here, but I can't think of anything.
Sad though, a stupid way to go.

On Monday night, a 19-year-old Minnesota woman was arrested for shooting her boyfriend to death as part of a YouTube stunt for her blog.
The criminal complaint in the case states that Monilisa Perez, who is pregnant, told police that her boyfriend, Pedro Ruiz, 22, wanted to make a YouTube video of her shooting a book while he was holding it; Ruiz thought the bullet would be stopped by the book. Ruiz had set up a GoPro camera and another camera to record the shooting.
Prior to the incident, Perez had tweeted:
"Me and Pedro are probably going to shoot one of the most dangerous videos ever?? HIS idea not MINE?"
After she shot Ruiz, Perez called 911. When police arrived, they attempted to save Ruiz but he died at the scene. Perez told police Ruiz had shown her a different book which a bullet did not penetrate; she acknowledged to police that she shot Ruiz from one foot away using a .50 caliber Desert Eagle firearm.
Perez was charged with manslaughter in the second degree, a felony that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years or a fine of $20,000 or both.
Clearly they didn't know (or maybe she did) that Popular Mechanics tested a 50 cal handcannon and it went through over 5,000 sheets of paper no problem iirc.She used a .50 cal? Don't these people know anything?
Yeah I'm thinking that the part where she said they tried it on a different book and it stopped it is bullshit. Or they used another gun.Clearly they didn't know (or maybe she did) that Popular Mechanics tested a 50 cal handcannon and it went through over 5,000 sheets of paper no problem iirc.

Oh for fuck's sake.The criminal complaint in the case states that Monilisa Perez, who is pregnant, told police that her boyfriend, Pedro Ruiz, 22, wanted to make a YouTube video of her shooting a book while he was holding it; Ruiz thought the bullet would be stopped by the book.
my jaw dropped with an audible "oh my god" when i read she fired a .50 cannon point blank. it's so dumb it's unbelievable.A .50 cal? Jesus fucking christ how stupid can you be?
