HOUSTON -
A man posing with a gun and taking selfies was killed when the gun went off and struck him in southwest Houston, police said.
Family members said the victim is 19-year-old Deleon Alonso Smith.
Investigators said Smith was taking selfies with a gun at an apartment in the 9800 block of Forum Park Drive and Bissonnet around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday when the gun accidentally went off, shooting the 19-year-old in the throat and killing him.

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

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

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

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.

Why isn't this in the Comedy Zone?

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)

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.
