Monalisa Perez from Minnesota claimed after being charged in the shooting that it was a stunt gone badly wrong. Ms Perez, who is pregnant, was charged on Wednesday with second-degree manslaughter in the death of Pedro Ruiz III. According to a criminal complaint, 19-year-old Ms Perez told authorities Mr Ruiz wanted to make a YouTube video of her shooting a bullet into a book he was holding against his chest. She says she fired from about a foot away and then fled the house, screaming. Authorities say 22-year-old Mr Ruiz died from a single gunshot wound to the chest. Their three-year-old daughter was reportedly at the scene when the shot was fired at about 6.30pm local on Monday. Ms Perez told deputies that the stunt had been Ruiz's idea, and that he had to convince her to do it. The book was supposed to stop the bullet in order to create a viral video. The victim's aunt, Claudia Ruiz, tells WDAY-TV that the couple played pranks and put them on YouTube. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Ruiz's aunt said she carried out the stunt as she wanted to increase her online profile by gaining more followers on social media. Ms Ruiz said that her nephew had told her he wanted to do the stunt "because we want more viewers, we want to get famous". www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/29/us-woman-shoots-boyfriend-dead-youtube-stunt-boost-online-profile/"because we want more viewers, we want to get famous". Well, they're famous now.

I read about that earlier.. I mean how pathetic and how very unfulfilled their lives must be.. fame any any price .. WHY and is it fame or is it money ? to some extent I can understand money and all the things monies bring... but fame what is fame but a very brief moment of fame or rather notoriety.. because what they get is notoriety rather than fame .. some one I know watches some of the big brother series.. simply she says becauses its so awful an insight... on what people will do to get their moments of fame...to what depths they will sink and the hypocracy of big brother when it decides on what is and is not acceptable behaviour... she says its like watching some new species of creature who have no understanding of acceptable human behaviour .... their immediate gratification on all levels and sexual play acting is all they think of ...they don't even know how to be tittalating as they have no finesse beyond bump and grind.. she has us in fits of giggles when she really gets descriptive and very cutting of those who apply to go on this show
