Gangster-Style Russian Roulette

(Dayton, Ohio) Last night, a 17-year-old female was hospitalized after being shot in the mouth allegedly during a game of Russian Roulette. Her 18-year-old gang member companion has been detained for questioning.

The young woman, whose name was not immediately available, was taken to Miami Valley Hospital where she was in serious, but not life-threatening, condition, Dayton Lt. John Bardun said.

She and the male were playing Russian Roulette in the living room of the dwelling, using a .357 Magnum handgun. There were at least two other witnesses, Bardun said.

He put the gun to her mouth and pulled the trigger more than once, Bardun said.

Investigators found five bullets in the dwelling, which could indicate that they had been removed to leave one round in the weapon -- as the game is played.

Police have not recovered the gun, Bardun said.

After he shot her, he told her he loved her, Bardun said.

So, he puts the gun in her mouth, pulls the trigger and calls it Russian Roulette. Uh, I'm missing something.
