A Minnesota woman has been charged over the fatal shooting of her boyfriend, in what authorities say was a social media stunt gone wrong.
Monalisa Perez, 19, was booked into county jail after shooting at Pedro Ruiz as he held a book to his chest, believing it would stop the bullet.
The couple's three-year-old child and nearly 30 onlookers watched as she fired the fatal bullet into his chest.
Ruiz's aunt said they did it to increase their social media following.
Claudia Ruiz told WDAY-TV that her nephew had told her he wanted to do the stunt "because we want more viewers, we want to get famous".
"He had told me about that idea and I said, 'Don't do it. Don't do it. Why are you going to use a gun? Why?'" Claudia Ruiz told the news channel.
"They were in love, they loved each other," she said. "It was just a prank gone wrong."  

Ms Perez, who is pregnant, is facing charges of second degree manslaughter. She faces her first court appearance on Wednesday.
County Attorney James Brue described the book as a hardcover encyclopaedia, and said the weapon used was a .50-calibre Desert Eagle handgun.
Police have seized two cameras, which are said to have recorded Monday's incident.

The single gunshot was fired from about one foot (30cm) away as neighbours gathered to watch outside their Minnesota home.
She told deputies that the stunt had been Ruiz's idea, and that he had to convince her to do it.
Earlier that day she tweeted about her reservations.

"Everyone was crying. I was standing behind that tree over there. And that was it. I just couldn't take it anymore so I had to go back home," neighbour Wayne Cameron told WDAY-TV.
The couple had started a YouTube channel in March, aiming to show the "the real life of a young couple who happen to be teen parents".
 

Their most recently uploaded video, on the day that Ruiz died, was titled: "Doing scary stunts at the fair".
Last week Ms Perez told her viewers that it was a "blessing" to have her husband home for the forthcoming birth of their son, who is due in September.

Dumb fucks. 

«the light is on but there's no one home» is fitting for these people.

I only feel sorry for the unborn child.

Darwin in action....yea sucks for the kids

I also have to question the sheer stupidity of the neighbours and everyone who was watching. Since when are books known to make good body armour FFS 

 

A live gun prank for YouTube is the most retarted thing I've heard in a long time.

Sad to agree but yeah that's natural selection in action right there.

A desert eagle. How'd you get possession of a weapon like that and not be aware of its power?

Plus, with friends like that who needs enemies? Not one sensible person able to say "lol what the fuck are you planning? Don't be ridiculous"

Not one person? Seriously?

Sadly this is a testament to the pure ignorance of a vast majority of today's society. I swear the more I am around/read about/watch people in the world these days the more I wonder just how so many people can be so damn stupid. It's really hard to feel sorry for the people in the article or any of the bystanders. Anyone with an IQ above the freezing mark would have known what would happen without even having to think about it.

This case was concluded with a fairly lenient sentence http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-43410816

I dunno, accidentally killing your partner and father of your kids is pretty much a life sentence.

Hey mom, where's daddy?

Well son, the thing about daddy is, I'm a moron.

I'm glad that the woman wont be able to benefit financially from this tragedy as we live in a society especially with these e-celeb fame chasers where only money matters and to hell with ethics and common sense. People would sell their soul for YouTube money these days.
