An Ohio man was shot dead after jokingly asking a friend to shoot him! Don’t ask someone to shoot you as a joke!

They might actually end up doing it! People don’t always get the joke even when it should be incredibly clear. You can’t joke around about stuff like that! This incident happened in Westwood, Ohio and it left the man dead!

Was An Ohio Man Shot Dead After Jokingly Asking A Friend To Shoot Him?

According to Local 12, Kathleen Geiger is accused of shooting Arthur Osborne in the groin at an apartment on East Tower Drive. It all started with some harmless banter where he jokingly requested she shoot him, per Local 12. Well, unfortunately, that harmless banter ended up turning into something quite harmful.

Local 12 reports that Geiger told authorities she believed the firearm was empty at the time of the firing. She did end up providing medical aid and called 911 but they were unable to save the man. She has since been charged with recklessly causing the death of Osborne and is being held on a $10,000 bond, per Local 12. You can see a video report by FOX 19 NOW on YouTube below.

Use this as a lesson so you don’t have to learn it yourself first hand. If someone asks you to shoot them…don’t do it! Also, maybe don’t joke around asking someone to shoot you. You never know how it might end. Stick with more practical jokes or something more simple and innocent.

Geiger is 77-years-old. She now is facing a possibility of 3 years behind bars. Even as kids I feel like we were always told even if a gun is not loaded don’t fire it. You never know if there might be a stray in there or something. So, don’t assume that it isn’t loaded and the best thing to do is avoid ever pointing a gun at someone and if you do make sure not to pull the trigger! It sounds like there are many ways this could go from here and it’s a waiting game now.

What’s the lesson here? Don’t jokingly ask a friend to shoot you because you don’t know if they might end up listening to you for some reason. Playing around and joking with guns is never a good idea even for someone experienced with handling firearms. Don’t joke around about that kind of stuff!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

  • Dave's Other Job Offer

    Can you imagine Dave in any other job? It would definitely be interesting! Well, it could soon become a reality. Dave received an offer from an erotic novelist to record the audio versions of her books and although he considered it, he doesn’t think his wife or the company would approve of him taking it as a side gig. I would buy that audio book!

  • Dave's Got Drugs In His Pockets

    Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a guy who claimed the drugs in his pockets weren’t his and neither were the pants he was wearing. Dave then plays the song, ‘Drugs in my Pockets’ by The Monks but no one on the show has ever heard that song before. Turns out, the song isn’t bad! Well, at least as bad as Dave’s version of it. Check out BOTH versions above!

  • Dave's Plane Ass Incident

    Somehow, Dave always ends up in the most awkward situations. There’s one common denominator: himself. Dave was involved in an uncomfortable situation on an airplane over the weekend. He accidentally squirted hand sanitizer on a man’s ass that was standing in front of him and wanted to know if he handled the situation correctly.

  • Dave's Patio Furniture Update

    It’s the update we’ve been waiting for! Last year, Dave made a delivery mistake and sent outdoor patio furniture to people in Florida after meeting them one time. He shares an update after finding out the people kept the furniture for themselves and never said anything. Would you have done what Dave did? What would you have done in this situation?

  • Who Won't Stop Texting Dave?

    Technology has come a long way over the years. However, it still has a way to go. Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about an odd problem that Dave is experiencing involving his robot vacuum. It won’t stop texting him saying that it’s stuck, even when it’s not plugged in. Everyone says this is a problem only gadget man Dave would have to deal with.
