A 22-year-old Halstad man is dead after being shot and killed in a YouTube stunt gone wrong.
According to CBS affiliate ValleyNewsLive, Pedro Ruiz was killed when he instructed his pregnant girlfriend to shoot a .50 cal handgun at a book he was holding, thinking the book would stop the bullet.
Ruiz, a YouTuber, was reportedly trying to achieve YouTube fame and began amping up pranks him and his girlfriend would do.
On 6:30 p.m. Monday, the Norman County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 500 block of U.S. Highway 75 in Halstad on the report of the shooting. Despite treatment, Ruiz was pronounced dead at the scene.
Now, Ruiz’s pregnant girlfriend, 20-year-old Monalisa Perez, is in jail, charged with reckless discharge of a firearm. Her first court appearance is expected Wednesday.
The couple already has one child. The second child, a boy, is expected to be born in the coming months.

Such disrespect for books. Growing up we wouldn’t even write in a book, such was the reverence with which they were held. Guess this is what happens when you stop reading books and start shooting them.

The gene pool is a little bit cleaner. Sorry to be so flip, but...this isn’t a tragedy.
It is stupidity.

I surprised she didn’t hurt herself firing off that round. The biggest gun I have fired is a 454 Casull, but that is a heavy gun. Is a 50 cal bigger than 454? I always thought it was.

500 S&W? How about a .50 cap & ball pistol? Or something in between?

This is a news site?? it’s “he and his girlfriend” - not him.
As to the “stunt” itself, as others have noted on other boards: Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. Loaded gun, novice shooter, shooting indoors - what could go wrong?
To: vladimir998
Definitely not the same as Houdini and his wife’s famous acts...
