A home video of a wedding featuring a drunk Russian playing Russian Roulette made its way onto the web and finally into the hands of the local news.

The video shows a man unexpectedly pulling a loaded gun from his waistband and putting it to his temple and de-cocking the pistol, making a loud ‘click’ noise. He thought it would be funny to pretend to fake a game of Russian Roulette. Unfortunately, a second man took the gun and not realizing it was a game, put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger for real, causing a rubber bullet to be fired at his head at point blank range.

The gunman, a 33-year-old Chechen, insists that he was sure the pistol was empty, but the police do not believe him and have opened a criminal investigation into the incident.
