Drinking and Guns Don't Mix
The Statesman Journal reports on the drunken shenanigans that led to one brother killing another.
After initially pretending it was a suicide:
Brandon then said that he had been trying to play a joke on his brother and thought the gun wasn't loaded.
As the two were walking through the living room, Brandon Orosco grabbed the gun off the couch, pointed it at his brother's forehead and pulled the trigger.
"He stated he had been really 'drunk' and what he did was a 'stupid joke,'" the detective wrote in the affidavit. "I asked Brandon if he wiped down the gun to hide his fingerprints and he stated, 'It seems like I did.'"
Good thing this is so extremely rare that 99% of the gun owners out there would never have so much as a single beer while guns are around. Isn't that more-or-less what they keep telling us?
