Michigan teen fatally shot himself during game of Russian roulette, authorities say


Police on Monday announced an investigation into the October shooting death of a Michigan teenager after they learned that Russian roulette was being played at the time of the incident, according to authorities.

“After interviews and the collection of evidence, it was determined that some occupants of the house were playing Russian roulette,” the Burton Police Department wrote on Facebook. “The victim suffered a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.”

Police were initially called to a home in Burton, Mich., about four miles east of downtown Flint, on Oct. 24., in response to a shooting. The teen was unresponsive and transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.
