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 Sheriffs 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, Ruizs 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.

So much for Harry Callahans 44 magnum beimg the most powerful handgun in the world.... Actually at the time that Dirty Harry movie was made there already did exist a more powerful handgun than the .44 magnum.
It was (and still is) the .454 Casull

What was the book he was holding, “Obama’s Positive Presidential Achievements”?
He would have been better off with “Trump’s Wins, Volume 1”

We could use quite a few Callahan types from 50 years ago now.

“Such disrespect for books. Growing up we wouldnt even write in a book, such was the reverence with which they were held.”
The used bookstore has bins of freebies outside. I’ve seen college kids take them to burn in their woodstoves.

We'll Give Him A ½ Darwin For This Effort! A half Darwin? He's got one kid already and his girlfriend has a second bun in the oven.
Nope. His genes have reproduced just fine.

Yeah, I noticed that while I was putting the thread together. Nobody cares anymore. Most newsroom editing is left to unpaid interns.

Anything to be a YouTube star... Some of those YouTubers make good money!
My 8-year old son wants to be DanTDM. His YouTube channel earns $15,000 a day.
