Texas Teen Posing With Gun in Selfies Accidentally Shoots, Kills Himself

Perhaps the most notable thing about this story is he was 19 years old and leaving two children behind. One might say his children will be without a father, but then those children never had a father, they only had a baby daddy.  Truly this was one dumbass move.

Oh and yes they “found” the gun earlier in the day. Now if they could only pin it on the police killing one of the finest young men around just set to go to school. They would be building memorials of him for years to come. Of course this will be used as a prime example of guns do kill people.

Houston, Texas police believe that 19-year-old Deleon Alonso Smith was posing for selfies with a gun on Tuesday when the firearm went off striking him in the throat and killing him. According to Click 2 Houston, Smith and his cousin had found the gun earlier in the day and were at an apartment around 1:30 p.m. when Smith began taking photos of himself holding the weapon. “It’s the worst feeling in my life,” the victim’s uncle Eric Douglas told the news station. “It’s a numb feeling. It’s still unbelievable. Yesterday was my birthday and he came to wish me happy birthday, and now this kind of news,” Smith’s grandmother Alma Douglas said. Family members told the news station that Smith was set to start college on Wednesday and that he leaves behind two young children.
