Facebook Inspires Manslaughter! Woman Shoots Brother Dead During Photoshoot!

What the…
19-year-old Savannah Ramirez (pictured above) accidentally shot and killed her brother, Manuel Ortiz (pictured above), during a Facebook photo sesh on New Year's Eve.
While partying at Manuel's Phoenix, Arizona apartment, a friend of the siblings thought it would be swell to take out a gun to pose with and while Savannah innocently played around, the gun went off and into Manuel's head. He died instantly.
Whether or not the group knew the weapon was loaded remains to be discovered, as the police continue to investigate the tragic incident.
Police Sgt. Steve Martos said:
"Every New Year's Eve, this particular sister is going to be thinking about this for the rest of her life on how…drinking overnight, playing with a gun and now shoots and kills her brother."
If alcohol tests come back positive for Savannah, then it is more than likely that she will be charged with manslaughter.
This is just another example why we need some serious gun control!!!
Don't these people watch the news?!?! A gun is NOT A PROP!!!

This case here has absolutely nothing to do with "serious gun control". This is purely due to lack of common sense. Gun control would have done nothing to save these two idiots.
Thinning of the herd. Darwin award contender.
What does this have to do with gun control? Sounds like a case for alcohol control.
From the looks of these people this doesn't appear to be a great loss.
I don't know people who have guns. I don't play with guns. I don't know anyone who has ever been shot. I see a pattern here….
Honestly, as tragic as this is, this is a case of don't play with fire because you will get burned.
Idiots! This is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. It's their fault for being stupid. Nothing more.
DO YOU EVER FUCKING RESEARCH ANYTHING YOU POST!?! This is fucking SIX YEARS OLD ASSHAT!
Darwin is working his magic
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. How cool are you people now!? Fucking losers.
A gun doesn't accidentally go off. If there's bullets in the chamber, it's a loaded lethal weapon. Period. It's not time for "serious gun control". It's time for a better review of the licensing procedure and training.
Nothing to with "Gun Control". This is birth control at its absolute finest.
Gun control? Try birth control. On a side note judging by the pic ' he was west side till he died.'
how tragic
she must be going thru hell
maybe its not as cool to hold a gun to someones head as they first thought…
Re: Kyle73 –
I own guns, I've never been shot, and I don't know anyone who plays with guns. The pattern I see is that I don't associate with stupid people. Do me a favor, and it won't cost you anything but a few minutes of your time and that is to look up on google or wikipedia "The rules of firearm safety". Three of those specifically would have prevented this is people weren't a bunch of drunken idiots. Gun control isn't the answer, stupid control is.
god wanted him to die , now if the sister can kill herself the earth will b rid of 2 assholes it didnt need in the first place
Fucking losers they are. Who plays with guns? and they look like thugs. World is better off without them anyway. Losers.
Re: anuk – Wrong! I'm in az, it happened last monday
Dum dum's
Idiots. Lets play with a gun!! WHY was it loaded?
thats why guns arent toys…WTH get drunk and play with guns..totally stupid and very sad..prayers to all families affected
Gun control? In this case it would further de-evolution. Lack of common sense is to blame.
Dumb ass with their stupid gang signs. Stay the fuck out of my neighborhood.
no laws or "gun control" will prevent these incidents…unless you find a cure for stupid this will keep happening. and no I dont feel sorry for this woman, good every new year she wll be reminded of her own stupidity. Really ha ha lets play with a loaded gun and take pictures! Idiot
AH-hahahahahahahaha
MORON
One less illegal Mexican.
Re: Mad Dog – one less person on welfare now, city just saved some money
Re: Tralala – Re: Tralala – Re: Tralala – Re: Tralala – Re: Tralala – It should not be sold to idiots like these so it has EVERYTHING to do w/ gun control.
Nice gang sign.
Glad he's dead
19 year olds cant buy handguns, this isnt a gun control issue, the gun was already banned for this gangster
Perez you dumb ass. This isn't an argument for gun control. These idiots probably don't even have THAT gun legally. You think gun control will stop this.
Re: anuk – I bet you feel real stupid right now because this isn't six years old dipshit.
Gun nuts!
I don't gather that she or he had any safety training.
It's not 'exactly' Darwin-esque, because she wasn't taken out by her own stupidity. Someone else was.
RIP and condolences to the family.
Have had guns since I got married to my late husband of almost 33 years, and we both took the NRA Hunter Safety Course. You always leave the safety on (did they even know what this was or where it was located?) and when carrying a shotgun, carry it broken and not loaded.
"This is just another example why we need some serious gun control!!!" fuck you asswipe. there are more laws applying to guns than ANY other thing. This gun did not kill this guy, his fucking stupid ass sister and friends killed him. you apparently cannot outlaw terminal STUPIDITY.
Wait, so they took the safety OFF, then used the gun for a photoshoot? That's either really stupid, or a really clever murder.
Gun control can't fix stupid.
Re: Kyle73 – That's interesting reasoning…
I don't have guns either, but I do know people that own them, in fact finance owns some and I ALSO do NOT know anyone one that's been shot.
*my fiance
Look AT THE PICTURE PEREZ……….DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT GUN WAS BOUGHT AT WAL-MART? Thugs like that steal their guns. Shows me the papers on file where he bought the gun!!!!!!
19 yr old, gang signs, thug sister, yep gun control will keep good citizens like these to from stealing/ oh I mean buying a gun. Perez you just showed your intelligence ! 19 year old with gun …does that say legal??? Perez, you dumb….real dumb
I agree that gun control would not have stopped these two idiots. If she didn't have a gun, I'm sure she would've drowned her brother in the bathtub. Two idiots who were probably raised by two other idiots!
You can't control stupidity. No amount of gun control is going to prevent shit like this.
This has nothing to do with Gun Control it has to do with thinking before you act. Guns don't just "go off" you have to pull a trigger that has pressure weighing against it. In this situation though, yes, sad, it would appear that no one (Photographer included) checked the magazine (Which according to law shouldn't be in anyway indoors without probable cause), no one checked the chamber, and they were more than likely intoxicated whilst holding a weapon. Had it been a knife and she slit his throat no one would scream "Knife control". This was poor judgement and action by everyone involved without the slightest even thought of personal safety.
A) ALWAYS assume that a gun is loaded… ALWAYS.
B) Do NOT put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot.
C) NEVER play with ANY kind of weapon.
This is NOT gun control. Clearly they were never trained on how to handle weapons properly.
If you don't want to own a gun… DON'T~ it is probably for the best. Don't punish those who are responsible gun owners.
They are both idiots to even have a gun and have it loaded. She will now have to live with her mistake and he and her shouldnt have a gun and point it to someone's head loaded or not loaded.
"A perfect example of why we need more guns" - the NRA.
Gun control? What we need is people control! (looks like the gun just helped take care of that) Seriously, people need to start taking responsibility for their own actions, and our nation needs to make sure that they are held accountable. Guns will always be in America, just like booze and porn. Let's start taking care of the real issues.
GUN control LOL LMAO!!! Are you kidding me?! Thats ridiculous! Jump off a building and someone dies call it building control…hilarious Perez! wake up already. No wonder ive stayed off your website for months.
"This is just another example why we need some serious gun control!!!"
This isn't a matter of gun control. Gun control would have not prevented this person from having a firearm. No new laws implemented would of disarmed this person. We have 20,000 laws and regulations on firearms. Yes, that is right TWENTY THOUSAND This isn't a gun at work, this is Darwinism. Once again, a firearm and gun control is being blamed but not the moron holding it.
Shooters have "gun safety rules" hammered into their brain at a very young age. One rule is "always assume the gun is loaded. Another is, ALWAYS make sure the gun is unloaded. The third being "NEVER POINT A GUN AT ANYONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. This idiot, pointed a loaded gun with im assuming the safety not being on at another persons head. He pretty much broke every single rule of gun safety. This isn't a gun issue, this is a stupid idiot who shouldn't be allowed to breed issue. Any brain dead moron can breed at will. When are we going to regulate breeding? It's more rational than regulating something that already has 20k laws. We never question the persons stupidity or lack of common sense. Typical lib for you..
Serious gun control wouldn't have fixed the stupidity in that family so stop preaching. I own 5 of my own guns (for hunting and providing meat for my family) and I know better than to leave them loaded or laying around my house. It's stupid people like that that give guns and the people that own them a bad name.
Seriously what does people think gun control is going to accomplish nothing if someone wants a gun there going to get a gun, and it doesn't have anything to do with guns its the people who use the guns get that through your thick head, just like drunk driving are we blaming the cars no its the people who get in those cars.
Of course, playing around with a LOADED gun is fun…until is goes off. Do stupid shit and shit will happen.
We don't need GUN control but definitely IDIOT control!
This tragic accident, by immature "kids", has nothing to do with gun control. To believe otherwise, is to miss what the serious issue is
Re: Whitney – "not a great loss" is a disgusting comment on the loss of two human beings
Natural selection at its finest. If it wasn't a gun it would have been something else.
laser rule idiots
Re: scott – lol true!
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GUN CONTROL! THESE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD A GUN OUT TO "PLAY" WITH. THEY SHOULD BE CHECKED PRIOR TO HOLDING TO SEE IF LOADED AND ALWAYS TREATED AS "IF" THEY ARE!!!!
Mackenzie. even though Fred`s st0rry is impossible, last thursday I bought Bugatti Veyron since I been making $4702 this past 4 weeks and a little over 10k this past month. it's actualy the most comfortable job Ive ever done. I actually started 10-months ago and practically straight away started making a nice more than $70, per-hour. I follow the details on this straightforward website,, =============bit90.com=============
Gun control, really? Only dumbass people would think this would fall under gun control. WTF!
looking at how pigshit dumb and aggressive they look Im glad ones dead and the other hopefully in prison. Two more idiots off the streets.
As much as this story is about a lack of common sense, it is undeniable that gun control is a factor. These things don't happen in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe… Unfortunately guns aren't always owned by educated, responsible people… The fact that fire arms deaths in the United States are typically around 10,000 each year, and other first world nations rarely top 100 really does show that gun control is an issue in circumstances like these… Should these people have been allowed to own guns? They were clearly irresponsible, so why did they even own guns? The United States needs to really look at their gun policies and review the reasons for gun ownership. Why is it necessary to own a gun?
HOW DID SHE GET HER HANDS ON A GUN?! There are so many accidental deaths from guns and then there's the unstable individuals who do ridiculous harm with them (sometimes massive). This has got to end!!!!!!!!!!!!!
like Richard answered I didnt know that anyone able to make $9013 in a few weeks on the computer. have you seen this site
Re: Tralala – This is why there SHOULD BE gun control - so idiots like this DO NOT have access to guns, and to stop needless deaths.
Serious gun control???? Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Especially stupid people….
Re: adg100 – So what if it is 6 years old? It plays into the gun control line.
Re: Chris –
This is the funniest and truest comment here, I am ashamed to say I live here in phoenix, but I carry everyday and in fact have my EDC on me as I type while Im sitting here at work, I have never shot anyone accidentally, let me rephrase that, I have never had a negligent discharge and that is exactly what this was, NOT an accident.
Nice shirt, you are famous now…hows it feel?
This article was dredged up from the archives for the sole reason to add the line about serious gun control. Lamestream progressive libtards wont stop until their likes and dislikes are shoved down the throat of every American.
Re: getitrght_112 – The article clearly states that have they not read the news? we need gone control. That was they way of spreading the lies and agenda to push gun control from ancient events that have nothing to do with present tragedies.
This isn't a case for gun control, this is idiot control in effect. $100 says that gun was purchased illegally off the streets …
Re: Kyle73 – You know, funny thing … I own several guns, almost everyone I know owns guns … and the only person I know who was shot, was shot by a bond jumper while trying to arrest him — someone who wouldn't have shot him if he had simply had a gun of his own!!!!!!!!!
Re: Whitney – To say nonetheless.
"This is just another example why we need some serious gun control!!"
Are you retarded?
We don't need gun control. We need idiot control. If either of these two idiots had practiced firearm safety, the guy would not be dead. A gun is not a toy. He needs a Darwin Award. And if the girl is that stupid, I'm sure she'll be up for one as well, hopefully before she manages to spawn any replacements.
1. Always assume a gun is loaded. 2. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to completely destroy. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. 4. Be certain of your target and what lies both in front of and behind it.
Manslaughter?? How about 1st degree,, Make people responsible for their actions,,, NOT the gun
It's a shame the lead didn't go straight though to the other side of her head too. More & more, people are proving that the 'stupid-herd' needs thinning.
HAHAHAHAHAHA I call this self thinning the herd, If they are that stupid in the first place maybe death was better for them. You can't legislate morals or common sense.
How funny some idiot thought if would be <cool> to do a photo shoot with a gun ready to fire ? Do you still think its cool? Because,I still think its funny
