A 19-year-old Texas man is dead after police say he
accidentally shot himself while posing for a selfie with a gun.
Deleon Alonso Smith died of a gunshot wound to the throat
about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at an apartment in southwestern Houston.
Investigators say Smith had found a gun and was taking
pictures of himself and a cousin holding the weapon and posting them online
when the gun discharged, killing Smith.
Investigators say the cousin was in another room when the
gun fired.
The victim's family told CBS Houston affiliate KHOU-TV that
Smith is survived by two young daughters and that he was a fun-loving person.
Family members told KHOU-TV that the victim never talked
about suicide.
