A carjacker in the UK made a fatal error when he attempted to steal a vehicle by smashing a window with the butt of a shotgun. Unfortunately for him, the gun misfired, hitting him in the chest and ending his life.
From Metro UK:
Officers investigating the death of Reece Ramsey-Johnson said they were satisfied there was ‘no third party involvement’ as they closed the probe into his killing.
Witnesses who saw the 22-year-old dying from gunshot wounds in the street outside a Lloyds bank in Sydenham on Sunday, September 8, said his own gun may have gone off when he used to to hit a car window.
Opening the inquest at Southwark Coroner’s Court on Thursday September 26, Dr Andrew Harris confirmed the police investigation had now ended.
He said: ‘The investigating officer is satisfied there is no third party involvement.
‘Witness testimony suggests the actions of the deceased led to his death, and the police are not conducting a criminal investigation.
Adding: ‘There is reason to suspect this was an unnatural or violent death.’
Dr Harris adjourned the inquest for a full hearing in January
A post-mortem examination found the cause of death was ‘shotgun wounds to the chest’.
Video footage taken at the time showed another masked man shouting ‘he’s shot himself — he’s f*****g shot himself’ as he crouched over Mr Ramsey-Johnson’s dying body.
I mean, on a human level, it's sad that this man inadvertently killed himself, but honestly, what did he think the end result would be?
If you're going to smash a window, you should definitely use the old trusty brick, hammer, or bat.
