Gun safety lesson turns deadly for man in Sierra Vista

Arizona Daily Star
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 05.17.2009
A 26-year-old Phoenix man accidentally killed himself early Sunday morning while explaining gun safety to two Sierra Vista residents.
Samuel Benally Jr. was at an apartment on West Tacoma Street when he said people should keep their guns unloaded because someone could point it at their heads, said Sierra Vista police Sgt. Brett Mitchell.
Benally then demonstrated by putting his own .9 mm Rueger, which he believed to be unloaded, to his head and firing it, Mitchell said.
Benally was flown to University Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased, Mitchell said.
An investigation is ongoing; police do not believe alcohol or drugs were involved, Mitchell said.
