We have a nominee for the Darwin Awards. Man Accidentally Shoots And Kills Himself April 30, 2005 By KOMO Staff & News Services TACOMA - A young man playing with a gun shot and killed himself. Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said Gordon Alverton, 21, had been out drinking with friends. When they returned to Alverton's Graham-area home early Friday, he grabbed one of two handguns in the house and began playing with it. He put the barrel of the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger, but there was no cartridge in the chamber and the gun didn't fire. "At that point, his friends told him to knock it off," Troyer said. But Alverton put the barrel of the gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger a second time. The gun fired, killing him, Troyer said. "The thinking is he probably thought the gun was unloaded," the spokesman said. "It's just a case of alcohol and guns being a bad mixture."
