Dans le Michigan, un homme s'est tué accidentellement d'une balle dans la tête en voulant prouver à sa petite amie la fiabilité de ses armes à feu.
Il aurait voulu prouver la dangerosité des armes à feu qu'il ne s'y serait pas pris autrement. Un homme s'est tué accidentellement d'une balle dans la tête devant sa petite-amie et trois enfants à Independance Township, dans le Michigan, aux États-Unis. Âgé de 36 ans, l'homme faisait une démonstration à sa concubine lorsque le coup de feu est parti, rapporte The Independant.
Ce passionné d'armes à feu voulait pourtant démontrer à sa petite amie que ses trois armes de poing n'étaient pas dangereuses lorsqu'elles n'étaient pas chargées. Pour étayer ses dires, l'homme a positionné tour à tour le canon de ses trois armes sur sa tempe avant d'actionner la gâchette. Le troisième pistolet lui a été fatal, indique le Détroit Free Press.
La petite amie de la victime a déclaré aux autorités que l'homme avait consommé une grande quantité d'alcool dans la journée. Un facteur déterminant dans le drame, a d'ailleurs déclaré le bureau du sheriff de Detroit, selon CBS Detroit.
MOSCOW (AP) — Mikhail Kalashnikov, whose work as a weapons designer for the Soviet Union is immortalized in the name of the world's most popular firearm, died Monday at the age of 94.
Kalashnikov once aspired to design farm equipment. But even though his most famous invention — the AK-47 assault rifle — sowed havoc instead of crops, he often said he felt personally untroubled by his contribution to bloodshed.
Sheriff’s deputies in Santa Rosa, Calif. shot and killed a 13-year-old boy who was holding a pellet gun that resembled an AK-47 assault rifle on Tuesday.
In a press conference Wednesday, Lt. Paul Henry of the Santa Rosa Police Department said that two Sonoma County Sheriff’s Deputies were patrolling a neighborhood when they spotted Andy Lopez, 13, carrying what they said appeared to be a rifle. Henry said that officers called for backup and repeatedly ordered Lopez to drop the weapon. Lopez reportedly turned towards the officers and one of them opened fire. Lopez was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 5-year-old boy who was playing with a .22-caliber rifle accidentally shot and killed his 2-year-old sister in Cumberland County on Tuesday afternoon, according to a news release from the state police.
The shooting happened just after 1 p.m. at a home on Lawson's Bottom Road.
The 2-year-old was taken to Cumberland County Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. An autopsy has been scheduled for Wednesday.
Cumberland County Coroner Gary White identified the girl as Caroline Sparks.
He said the children's mother was at home when the shooting occurred, and the gun was a gift the boy received last year.
"It's a Crickett," he said. "It's a little rifle for a kid. ...The little boy's used to shooting the little gun."
White said the gun was kept in a corner, and the family did not realize a shell had been left in it.
He said the shooting will be ruled accidental.
"Just one of those crazy accidents," White said.
