Aspiring YouTube star shoots and kills boyfriend in stunt gone wrong

Not sure why this is on HN... but this is a pretty tragic story. Tragic for the 3-year old child and soon to be born son of this teenager.

I know these were two 19-year old parents, but why any parent would risk their lives in such a way for YouTube likes is beyond my understanding.

Seconded. This is buzzfeed stuff, or reddit at best. Don't see how it fits here.

That was soo wrong. I understand why wants to be a YouTube star, you can monetise it. But a shortcut like this, a very dangerous one too, is just... I don't even have the word.

Sadly, laws almost everywhere will put the blame on the one who pulled the trigger even though it was clearly a prank gone wrong -- no ill intentions or anything.

I hope their children won't be left without their mother too, if the court decided to imprison her. :(

Darwin award special mention?

Please don't do this here.
