Sounds like he clicked the wrong thing. Coordination can be a bear sometimes.

Self-inflicted gunshot wound: the original "selfie."

Hope he doesn't have kids and his gene pool ended.

I love it when thugs take themselves out. Saves taxpayer ammo. ;)

Well, I hope he got a good shot.

No, the gun did not "accidentally go off."

It functioned exactly as intended when he pulled the trigger of the loaded weapon.

Good riddance, and chalk one up for Darwin.

Hope he doesn't have kids and his gene pool ended.

From the story "...Family members said Smith has two young children and was starting college Wednesday...."

19 tears old, two kids, one three years old and doesn't say anything about a wife. His gene pool will continue for at least one more generation.
