21-Year Old, Oscar Otero Shoots Himself Dead While Posing For A 'Selfie' With A Loaded Gun

A young Mexican man has died after accidentally shooting himself in the head while posing for a “selfie” with a loaded gun. 21-year old 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 house-mates, Omar Abner Campos Vives and man known only as “El Paco,” when neighbours heard a gun go off followed by screaming.
One neighbour, Manfredo Paez Paez, 57, said: ”I heard a gunshot, and then I heard somebody screaming and realised somebody had been hurt. I called the police straight away and when they arrived they found that he was still alive.”
Medics were quickly called out but the young man died on the way to hospital in an ambulance. Police who questioned those who were in the flat when the accident happened said that he had been messing around with the gun and taking pictures when it accidentally went off.
