An Unnecessary Tragedy: YouTuber Dies After Being Shot by his Girlfriend. The Reason? They Were Attempting to Boost their Profile by Taping her Shooting a Book he Held to His Chest.

Play safe, guys. Your life isn't worth fifteen minutes of fame :(

Here is an excerpt from this article:

A PREGNANT teen was charged with manslaughter after accidentally shooting her boyfriend dead when a YouTube stunt apparently went wrong. Monalisa Perez, 19, claimed her lover Pedro Ruiz wanted to film a video of her shooting a bullet into a book he was holding against his chest.

According to a criminal complaint, his girlfriend told authorities Ruiz wanted to make a YouTube video of her shooting a bullet into a book he was holding against his chest. She says she fired from about a foot away. Authorities say Ruiz died from a single gunshot wound to the chest. His death was captured on two cameras that had been set up to record the stunt. Their three-year-old daughter, Aaliyah, was reportedly present when the shooting occurred.

My condolences go out to all those involved. For anyone who knows what the book was, please describe it in a comment below.
