Man Says Shooting Death of Girlfriend Was Accidental, Part of Foreplay

Combine at your own risk.
Just in case you were wondering if you should incorporate firearms into your foreplay, a couple from Granite Falls have gone to the trouble of demonstrating definitively that guns and sex do not mix.

The Snohomish County Sherrif's office has arrested a 25-year-old man in the shooting death of his 22-year-old girlfriend. The man told cops that the two were drunk when they started fooling around. He then grabbed a gun he said they'd used in foreplay before, at which point it went off, killing her.

Compounding the tragedy, the shooting happened while the couple's two children were asleep in the same room on a different bed.

The man has been booked on investigation of first-degree manslaughter. And the Blotter reports that a background check reveals there have been three separate domestic violence incidents between the couple in the past three years.
