Woman Accidentally Fatally Shoots Herself In The Head With Gun Bought To Prepare For Ferguson Unrest
A woman who bought a gun to prepare for possible unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, appears to have accidentally fatally shot herself in the head on Friday night.
The unidentified boyfriend told police that the couple had bought a firearm because of fears of unrest related to the upcoming grand jury decision on Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, in the shooting death of Michael Brown.
According to the boyfriend, as the couple drove late Friday night, the victim waved a gun, jokingly saying they were ready for Ferguson, a source told CNN.
The boyfriend said he ducked to get out of the way of the gun then accidentally rear-ended another car.
The accident caused the gun to go off and she was struck by a bullet in the head, according to the source.
The victim was rushed to a hospital but died.
Police are awaiting gun trace results, as part of the ongoing investigation.
Gun sales have gone up by almost 700% in Ferguson ahead of the Grand Jury decision. Expect more “accidental” shootings.

I have no sympathy for people like this. The best part of this story is that there is now one less inbreed right wing racist in the world

Playing with real loaded guns will bite you in the ass eventually. Unfortunately it happened sooner than later for this moron…

Sooner is always better, less chance of hurting some innocent bystander or child in her care which was almost a certainty.

Poetic Justice. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving idiot. At least she’s out of the gene pool.

…and didn’t take any bystanders with here. I wish they were all that considerate.

We should never let these opportunities go by without a shout-out to our friends at the NRA!…

This was a black woman. Blacks can’t get a break even when they buy a gun the right way.

it was a white woman

Thanks. I hadn’t had a chance to look. It didn’t ring true that she was black.

Well I was going to make a joke but I saw she died. This is sad. Rest in Peace. There is quite a bit of irony here.

Sad and ironic. So many more people…and children, are killed by the guns bought for protection than are protected by them.

This may be the very idea of those ‘great thinkers’ in the NRA and gun right organizations./sarc/. to cut down the population.. yet that would not make much sense.. but in a way it would raise the I.Q. level in the U.S..and I am all for that
