Man dies after accidentally shooting himself at party

A man accidentally shot and killed himself at a West Dallas party early Saturday after showing off his pistol to friends, police said.

A group of friends had been drinking in the 3400 block of Iroquois Drive near Loop 12 and Singleton Boulevard when Andreous Robinson, 20, went outside around 1 a.m. and shot a few rounds into the air. Police said Mr. Robinson then came back inside and thought that he'd discharged all of the rounds, so he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, said Sgt. Bruce McDonald, a homicide officer.

Mr. Robinson was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

His death came less than a day after a man was fatally shot in a similar incident at the Miramar Motor Hotel in the 1900 block of Fort Worth Avenue in north Oak Cliff. In that incident, police said, four men were drinking vodka and using crack cocaine Friday afternoon when one of them accidentally shot another to death.

What an idiot, I don't see any accident there....he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. I wonder what he used.

The only negative I see about this is that this 20 yo who shot himself will end up as a statistic the Brady bunch will use against us. This 20 yo will be classified as a "child" who died from "handgun violence".

Anything for the children.

Anygun

To use their same argument, you could say that the alcohol killed him, therefore we must ban alcohol. How did he obtain the alcohol? He was only 20. Must have been an alcohol show where they don't do background checks.......................


Why can't people admit that some people are just stupid drunks?

If he was only 20, he was obviously UCW AND under the influence at the same time. Not to mention it is against the law to shoot rounds in the air or discharge a weapon within the city limits. I know this does not mean anything to Brady, but IMO it has nothing to do with CHL.

I stand corrected......with all the laws it's hard to remember.....18 OK with new car carry law and 21 for CHL.
