You shoot yourself in the head with a gun, and the bullet goes through your head and hits your girlfriend in the armpit.

She dies, you come home from the hospital two weeks later perfectly fine.

Victor Sibson does not remember what happened the night he put a gun to his head, he told police.

Shortly after 2 a.m. April 19, the 21 year-old Anchorage man held a handgun to his left temple as he stood in the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, Brittany-Mae Haag. She attempted to grab the gun and stop him from taking his own life, prosecutors believe.

Police would later find both Sibson and Haag lying on the floor with gunshot wounds, and only one shell casing on the ground, Assistant District Attorney James Fayette told The Washington Post. Prosecutors believe the bullet that struck Sibson in the head — just behind his left eye — then hit Haag in the chest as she reached over to him.

Fayette, who has been a prosecutor in Anchorage since 1993, said he has never seen a “one-shot” case such as this one.

After the shooting, Haag, 22, managed to walk to a neighbor’s door to ask for help. The neighbor, Gary Hutson, followed her back to her apartment, cracked the door open and saw Sibson lying on the floor as Haag faltered, he told a local television station.

Haag died later that morning as Sibson was treated for life-threatening injuries. He ultimately survived and was released from the hospital within a couple of weeks, the district attorney said.

bummer any way you look at it

UTFO did a song about this.

I was a big UTFO fan back in the day, and vaguely remembered this song.

Thanks for posting!
