YouTube prankster admits killing boyfriend in stunt gone awry

 

A YouTube prankster from the US state of Minnesota has admitted fatally shooting her boyfriend in a videotaped stunt they hoped would go viral.

Monalisa Perez, 20, told investigators she fired a gun from about a foot away at a book held by Pedro Ruiz III, on 26 June.

She said they expected the bullet to embed harmlessly in the volume. Ruiz, 22, died from a gunshot to the chest.

Perez pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter on Friday.

Her plea deal entails her serving six months in prison and 10 years of supervised probation.

What are four of the biggest hazards of social media?

Perez is also reportedly to be banned for life from owning firearms.

The couple posted videos of their pranks to a YouTube channel in a quest for internet fame, according to court records.
