A MAN attempting a selfie with a loaded gun was killed after he accidentally shot himself in the head with it.
DEADLY OBSESSION: Selfie addict Oscar Otero Aguilar accidentally fired a gun at himself while snapping a pic [CEN]
Young vet Oscar Otero Aguilar was a big fan of snapping selfies but his most daring attempt proved to be his last.
The 21-year-old had borrowed a gun and decided to snap some pics while waving the weapon around.
Unfortunately he pulled the trigger during his antics – while the gun was pointing at his head.
His neighbour in Mexico City, Manfredo Paez Paez, 57, raised the alarm after hearing gunshots coming from Oscar's home.

“I heard a gunshot, and then I heard somebody screaming and realised somebody had been hurt”
Neighbour Manfredo Paez Paez
He said: "I heard a gunshot, and then I heard somebody screaming and realised somebody had been hurt.
"I called the police straight away and when they arrived they found that he was still alive."
Oscar died in the ambulance on the way to hospital.
Neighbours told police they believed the young man had not realised there was a bullet in the gun when it had been handed to him.
Oscar's Facebook page – littered with selfies on motoribikes and in flash cars – has been taken down.
