I need to know what Book he was holding to think it would stop a .50 Cal. I hope it wasn't a paperback.
Dam at close ranger too.
HALSTAD, Minn. – A Minnesota man is dead after his family says he instructed his girlfriend to shoot at a book he was holding for a YouTube stunt, KVLY-TV reports.
Pedro Ruiz, 22, always said he wanted a big family in his home in Halstad, Minnesota, according to his aunt, Claudia Ruiz. Her nephew's girlfriend, 19-year-old Monalisa Perez, the mother of his first child, is seven months pregnant with their second.
Now, Perez faces a charge of second-degree manslaughter after a court appearance Wednesday, according to the Pioneer Press. She was released on a $7,000 bond.
The couple were trying to achieve YouTube fame – to get views, subscribers and notoriety – so they tried amping up their pranks, according to KVLY.
According to court documents, Perez shot Ruiz at close range with a .50 caliber handgun after he mistakenly thought the book he was holding would stop the bullet. Perez tweeted Monday night, "Me and Pedro are probably going to shoot one of the most dangerous videos ever. HIS idea not MINE."

Perez said Ruiz set up one camera on the back of a vehicle and the other on a ladder nearby. She said she agreed to do the video and to shoot the gun after Ruiz showed her a different book that he had shot that prevented the bullet from going all the way through.
She told authorities that she shot at Ruiz from about a foot away while Ruiz held a book to his chest.
The bullet went into her boyfriend’s chest.
The court complaint said that after the shooting, authorities found a gold Desert Eagle .50-caliber handgun in the grass near the couple’s home.
