An alleged gang member accidentally shot himself in the head while playing with a modified gun in Taiwan, according to new video and reports.
The man believed the gun malfunctioned and brought the weapon to his forehead in an attempt to impress fellow friends at the scene — when the gun discharged, killing him.
“A mysterious death case was reported in Longtan District, Taoyuan City. A man and two teenagers visited the home of a man named Cai. Cai showed his strength and took out a modified pistol to play with, and even held the gun to his forehead. Unexpectedly, a fire broke out and he died tragically. The visiting friend was so frightened that he rushed out of the door in panic. The prosecutor has further investigated the source of the bullet.
This case occurred on October 31. Cai was suspected of having a gang background. On that day, a friend came to visit with two teenagers. On a whim, Cai took out a modified pistol to play with, and boldly put the muzzle of the gun against his forehead. Unexpectedly, the gun went off, and the friend and the two teenagers were so frightened that they ran away.
The police were informed of the investigation and the whole process was recorded by the monitor in the house. The perpetrator claimed that the gun malfunctioned and could not be fired. Unexpectedly, when he pulled the trigger, it fired and shot his head. The two teenagers were so frightened that they cowered on the sofa. After a few seconds, the three people hurriedly left the scene. Cai’s wife heard the gunshots and went downstairs to check, only to discover the tragedy and was sent to the hospital where he died.”
