I guess you know now.

Man Charged With Shooting Friend on Dare




OROFINO, Idaho (AP) - A man has been charged with involuntary manslaughter for fatally shooting his friend through a protective vest on an apparent dare, police said.

Alexander Joseph Swandic, 20, died of a gunshot wound to the heart Monday after donning a protective vest and asking David John Hueth, 30, to shoot him, police said.

Hueth initially told police that Swandic's wound was self-inflicted, but later admitted to the shooting. The two had apparently tested the vest by propping it against a dirt bank and shooting it twice, police said.

Police said the vest was designed to protect against grenade fragments, not bullets.

Swandic was pronounced dead at a local hospital following the shooting.

Hueth faces a preliminary hearing on Dec. 27. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

A flack jacket...[/shakes head]

I say let the second guy go. The dude that's dead would have stepped in front of a bus to prove a point... :sad:

doh! Drinking must have been involved..

There's a good question.....if somebody asks you to shoot them, and you do, but don't intend to kill them (or even injure them too bad) is it your fault?

Involuntary Manslaughter or accidental death?

Only if you are of reasonable intelligence. In that, a retard should get off, but anybody that knows up from down should be prosecuted...
