Right. Then why play the game?A game of reverse Russian roulette early Thursday in a South Bexar County home ended with an 18-year-old woman dead and a man behind bars after he was charged with firing the fatal shot. ...
The three had engaged in a game of reverse Russian roulette using a .357 magnum. Rather than point the gun at their own heads, participants point the weapon at other people, according to [Bexar County Sheriff's Department Lt. Dale] Bennett.
Details of what happened next are unclear. The suspect said he was about 15 feet away from [Amanda] Studymire when he pointed the gun at her and accidentally shot her in the head, Bennett said. He also claimed not to know the gun was loaded.
It's never smart to play with guns. It's even dumber to play Russian roulette. And it's even dumber than that to try out variations on the game.
And it's tragic when someone's plain stupidity ends up hurting or killing another.

I just found your blog and like it a lot. I added you to my blogroll so you might see a little extra traffic.
I don't live in S.A., but I work there and my job requires me to drive all over the city. It's always interesting to see reports on odd stuff like this on the streets where I work.
Thanks, Alan. I hope you and others enjoy the posts here. I'm not trying to do anything special, just highlight strange things I run across or hear about.
Some crazy stuff in San Antonio. Anybody know how old was the other person who thought the gun wasn't loaded.
I am the aunt of the girl who passed away. Amanda would have never played Russian Roulette. Plus his story doesn't add up to what the medical examiner says. Therefore I believe with all my heart that it was not Russian Roulette. Amanda wanted to become a youth minister, she was always ministering to the kids about the dangers of life. I have known the guy most of his life. There is more to the story then what was said and only those 3 and God know the truth about what happened in there. These kids these days don't understand that once you pick up a gun and point it at someone else it is no longer an accident. Whether you know it is loaded or not, You know there is a chance you will be taking that persons life.
Aunt Maggie, I agree, which is why I say it's never smart to play games with guns. They are not toys. I am sorry for your family's loss, and you have my sympathies.
There is work that needs to be completed in this investigation, and that work will not get done in this comment thread. The sheriff's department needs to do that work. Whether or not they wil stick to the designation of "reverse Russian roulette" or come to another determination remains to be seen, but that's the term they used to describe what happened. And that's the term the media has been using as well.
Again, I am sorry for your loss.
ok, since someone removed my last one, I will be nicer. Abel deseves what ever comes to him because he is a murderer. Who plays reverse rullette from 15 ft away huh? Mandi was my friend and she would never have played such a stupid game. If any of y'all (not aunt maggie) would have known Mandi, you would have known that wasn't true. Miss you girl. *Delilah*
I am Amanda's Aunt DeAnna, and I feel I must once again set the record straight. Amanda was not playing any such game!! how do I know? the 3rd person "Aunt Maggie" referred to happens to be my daughter. that was a story made up by Able's family in hopes that if they could somehow make the law believe Amanda was a willing participant in her own death, then they wouldn't come down so hard on Able. by the way.. the bullet went through her hand first as though she were trying to stop the bullet! yes, Able is in prison where he belongs. However, I have forgiven him. NOT FOR HIM, but for myself. we still greive her on a daily basis. this past 4th of July was her 22nd b-day. my sister (Amanda's mother) once again got her a cake, and had a family gathering where 22 red balloons were released in her memory. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU MANDIE SUE!!!
