Woman fatally shot as man pulls gun from waistband to hug her

Phoenix police say an embrace turned deadly when a woman was fatally shot as her boyfriend removed a gun from his waistband.

Story

WTF?!

People like that shouldn't have guns.

I remember hearing a story of 2 siblings taking facebook photos with their guns, and the sister accidentally shot her brother in the face during the photoshoot(no pun intended).

News like these boggle my mind.

People like that shouldn't have guns.

The world has no shortage of idiots.

It was clearly an accident. Guy probably didn't have the saftey on.

huh? Where was she shot? IF he pulled a gun out of his waist, ONLY possible spot would be getting hit get in leg/foot.... IF any where else Clearly dude was raising it at herk2theswiss

Shockingly, Hollywood isn't the best source for information on gunshot wounds. Getting shot in the leg (or shoulder, or arm, or pretty much anything that isn't an extremity or ass cheek Band of Brothers style) carries a risk of hitting a major blood vessel.

I think a lot of accidental shootings happen from not having any trigger discpline.

Dude was a moron who doesn't have the first clue how to handle a gun. End of story.

Either that or he's a moron. Even with the safety off, a gun doesn't fire without pulling the trigger. If he (or any part of his clothing) even came close to the trigger, when he wasn't intending to shoot, then he's an idiot who doesn't know how to handle a gun.

I don't want to turn this into a debate, but I think hugs should be banned.

Aren't you not supposed to stick it in your waist band?

Yeah. That was the first sign that this dude is borderline retarded, and doesn't know how to handle a gun. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he's probably a young guy who thinks he's tough, and carries a gun because he thinks it makes him look badass. Fvcking imbecile.

Edit: Just glanced at the story. Dude is 18 years old. My theory = confirmed.

Also, gotta love the wording of the article. "The gun discharged". You mean, "he shot the gun". Guns don't shoot themselves, dumbasses at whatever pathetic excuse of a news station broke this story.

It might have been holstered inside of his waistband. Would have been nice to know the specifics.

This is why guns should be illegal in most cases.

Because some random moron doesn't know how to use one? Yeah, that's valid reasoning. GTFO, commie.

I wouldn't call that an accident, that is a little too innocent sounding for this.  This is neglect, carelessness, ignorance, stupidity...the nasty black-leaning grey area.

Still, this is a tragedy and I feel awful for the guy as he is problably feeling like the worst person in the world.

Though yeah, the guy was an idiot.

This pretty much a given. It is literally impossible for something like this to happen if the person holding the gun is anything but an idiot.

Who puts a gun in their pants without first checking the safety? This is why gun safety courses should be closely monitored so proper training can be applied to these gun owners. ferrari2001

then you really shouldn't stick it in your waistband, close to your junk.  Did no one see 8 mile?

Legs and arms are extremities.
