Sgt. Mark Hollbrook, Houston Homicide, said that while it’s unusual for people to put on body armour and play with guns at a party, “these things happen sometimes.”

The name of the victim was not disclosed at the time of this report.

Freak accidents

In a similar development, a Russian, Sergei Terekhov, was shot dead by his dog in a freak accident that occurred during a hunting expedition.

This happened while the deceased was on a trip around the Volga river in company of his brother who rushed him to a hospital.

Unfortunately, he gave up the ghost on the trip.

The tragic event came about the time when Terekhov attempted to let out two Estonian hounds from a vehicle.
