CONCRETE [
docha love that name?], Wash. (AP) — A 43-year-old man has died after authorities say he accidentally shot himself in the face while taking selfies.
The Skagit Valley Herald reports (

Skagit County Sheriff's Office Patrol Chief Chad Clark says the woman reported that she and the man had taken photos with the gun several times that day and that the man had loaded and unloaded bullets multiple times.
Clark says a bullet apparently remained in the gun the final time he fired.

Do guns come equipped with a camera these days, like phones? I can see how that could lead to accidentally shooting oneself.

It didn't mention this in the article, but I'm guessing that fermented and/or distilled fruit/vegetable juices were involved.

I think that one can always take that as a given in these cases.
