Independence Township man shoots, kills himself while demonstrating gun safety, deputies say

A 36-year-old Independence Township man is dead after he shot himself in the head while demonstrating the gun, deputies reported.

The Oakland County Medical Examiner has ruled his death a suicide.

The man’s girlfriend was performing CPR on the victim when deputies from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the residence on Pinedale — off of Sashabaw Road south of Maybee Road - at 9 p.m. on Sunday.

The girlfriend, who also lived at the Independence Township residence, told deputies the victim had been drinking most of the day.

seriously, guns and cars have one thing in common: they should not be operated while intoxicated.

The coroner ruled it a suicide. I wonder if the guy was suicidal or just intoxicated and stupid.
