Pregnant YouTube star (19) shot boyfriend dead for camera

A YouTube stunt, trying to protect himself from a bullet with an encyclopedia, cost 22-year-old Pedro Ruiz III from Halstad (Minnesota).

There was also a witness: the 3-year-old daughter of a couple, reports various American media.

The two were owned by their YouTube channel, in which they pulled out more or less dangerous stunts to attract as many viewers as possible. As a result, they were moderately successful: so far the channel attracted around 2000 viewers.

Their last idea: Pedro would shoot with a Desert Eagle firearm, one of the most powerful pistols out there. In addition, his only protection would be a very thick book. A test would have revealed that a bullet would not penetrate through it. The duo set up two cameras and tweeted in advance 'the most dangerous video ever'.

That went wrong on Monday, June 26th. From about thirty centimeters, Monalisa fired on the book that held her boyfriend for his chest. The bullet passed through it and hit the young man in the chest. He died on the spot.
