DC Father Of Two Dies In Mistake

John Allen, a 29 year old father of two, accidentally shot himself last Saturday night with a gun he believed to be unloaded.

The victim was a San Francisco driver and was in the home of relatives at 762 Niantic Avenue when the accident occurred.

His wife was present at the time of the accident. She is expecting their third child.

The owner of the gun warned Allen to be careful. Allen was so sure that he had unloaded the gun, he held the fun to his head and shot himself.

He was dead on arrival at Mary’s Help Hospital.
