On Wednesday morning, 13 May 2009, Shadia Ibrahim 'Allami, 20, from Beit Ummar village north of Hebron, was killed by a bullet unleashed by mistake from her fiancé's pistol.
"Can't you read, buddy? The sign distinctly sez 'all bullets must be on a leash'!"
I don't know what happened! The bullet just unleashed itself by mistake!
"Yeah, yeah, tell it to da judge, I gotta writes youse up for an unleashed bullet. Youse can appear in court or just mail dis ticket in with da fine."
According to investigations conducted by PCHR, at approximately 11:00 on Wednesday, 'Allami was sitting with her fiancé, (M.K.) who is a member of the Palestinian Presidential Security Service, in her family's house.
Ah, a well trained Palestinian professional...
While the fiancé was playing with his pistol, a bullet was unleashed and hit her to the abdomen from a zero range.
Quit playing with your pistol, Mahmoud!
Ah, Shadia. I am a member of the Presidential Security Service! What could possibly happ...BANG!
Owwwwwie...
She died of her wound on the way to the hospital. The police arrested the fiancé and opened an investigation into the incident.
Change your mind, Mahmoud? She gettting a little chubby maybe? A little mouthy?
The girl's body was taken to the forensic medicine department.
Looks like she was gut shot, Quince.
Yep. Heart failure. No doubt, Sam. Another successful diagnosis by Hebron CSI.
The wedding party of the girl was supposed to be held on Friday, 15 May 2009.
Must've been practicing for the "festivities"...
PCHR is gravely concerned over increasing casualties resulting from the misuse of weapons. PCHR calls also upon concerned bodies to take measures that can ensure the non-recurrence of such incidents.
Yep, we'll get right on that. Don't gut shoot your girlfriends, okay, boys? It makes us look bad...
And keep your bullets on a leash!
