A young Mexican man has died after accidentally shooting himself in the head while posing for a “selfie” with a loaded gun.
Oscar Otero Aguilar, who worked in a pet shop, is said to have been drinking with friends in Medero, in the north of the capital, Mexico City, when the accident happened.
A follower of the “selfie” craze - in which people pose for photographs they take of themselves - Otero Aguilar frequently posted pictures of himself on social media sites.
He had been at home with with his two housemates, Omar Abner Campos Vives and man known only as “El Paco,” when neighbors heard a gun go off followed by screaming.
One neighbor, Manfredo Paez Paez, 57, said: ”I heard a gunshot, and then I heard somebody screaming and realized somebody had been hurt. I called the police straight away and when they arrived they found that he was still alive.”

Wait... are regular folks allowed to own handguns in the People's Republic of Mexico? I didn't think that was the case... in which case, this is obviously a fabricated story, since such laws would necessarily make it impossible for anyone to own such a vile tool of death and destruction.

Really funny. Haha. Hope no one you know does something stupid. Is because he was Mexican? If he was this side of the border would it be hilarious?

Umm, this sort of stupidity gets this treatment all the time around here, regardless of race, creed, or national origin. Trying to make this a racial thing is just asinine.

Paint me in a corner if you want. I hope nothing happens to someone your close to. My family shoots together all the time and with friends that aren't well versed. Asinine? FU! Relish in someone's death.
