Today’s Imitative Yet Truly Morbid Fact!<\/h3>\n

In September 2014, Eric Stayton, 50, hosted a birthday party at his Florida\u00a0home for his 39-year-old sister, Renee Chaires, and her 23-year-old\u00a0daughter. Chaires drank three beers and then decided to reenact a scene from\u00a0the 1993 Western movie “Tombstone.” In the movie, Michael Biehn as Johnny\u00a0Ringo and Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday face off in a crowded bar, and Biehn as\u00a0Ringo twirls his six-shooter in the air. Stayton twirled his own loaded gun.\u00a0His brother-in-law objected on safety grounds, but Renee Chaires begged him\u00a0to repeat the stunt so her daughter could guess which Val Kilmer movie he\u00a0was imitating.<\/p>\n

Stayton obliged, but as he returned the gun to its holster he dropped it and\u00a0as it hit the floor it discharged, striking Chaires in the neck and killing\u00a0her. Stayton is now being charged with manslaughter. He has told deputies\u00a0that he’s been twirling guns for ten years with no problem.<\/p>\n

Now, does this look like a man who would have trouble twirling a gun? \u00a0I didn’t think so.
