Hello, everybody, Weko997 here. In today's post I will be doing a deep dive into the world of firearm suicide. Please use this post educational reasons for knowledge, instead of using it to learn how to actually kill yourself.

Introduction to Firearm Suicide

I would like to begin off by saying firearm suicide takes up the greatest number of deaths via firearm, in 2021, 54% of firearm related deaths were suicide. 90% of firearm suicides are successful. 10% of these people live though, are most likely lose basic motor abilities, experience severe chronic pain, and a bunch of other complications such as meningitis, aphasia, hemianopsia, and hemiplegia. 50% of survivors sever a nerve and have facial nerve damage,

Meningitis: An infection of meninges, protective tissue of the brain that causes stiff neck, headache and fever.

Aphasia: a person may be unable to comprehend or unable to formulate language because of damage to specific brain regions

Hemianopsia: Loss in vision, or blurriness

Hemiplegia: total or nearly complete paralysis on one side of the body

Firearm Suicide Terms

Multiple-gunshot suicide: This occurs when an individual commits suicide by inflicting multiple gunshots on itself before becoming incapacitated. These are extremely rare when it comes to firearm suicide,

Murder Suicide - The act of intentionally taking others' lives with a firearm before taking your own, with a firearm. A keen example of this would be the Columbine shooting.

Body after suicide

As evident throughout the many of suicides on this site, a plethora of things can happen when someone takes their own life with a firearm.

The first thing that can happen, is spasming out. Most of the time, when shooting yourself with a small caliber gun, you tend to tense up or move in a spastic or unusual way. The cause of this could be a multitude of things. If a area of your brain is damaged, you could go into different postures/positions. Another reason one may act this way is due to their brain going into shock that its shutting down, and in a responce acting in a frantic way. A good example would be 1444

Clenching onto the couch after the initial blast >

Frantic Response to the Blast:

The second thing that can happen is an immediate stop and complete limp as soon as the trigger is pulled, this usually happens with bigger guns like shotguns or rifles. Examples would be Ronnie's Suicide.

Body going completely limp after initial blast >

Different Angels

Through the Mouth < Using Marsey as an example (Thank you Marsey). Suicide through the mouth is the act of shooting yourself with the muzzle in your mouth. This method of suicide is uncommon, but a good example would be Budd Dwyer's Live Tv Suicide. As stated up above, people can react in frantic ways, but every through the mouth suicide I've seen had the user completely limp after the blast. Thie bullet of the gun enters through the mouth and out through the top of the head, and if shot right could cause leakage in the back of the head, causing a perfuse amount of blood to leak out through the nose. If you see a video of a man committing suicide with the muzzle pointed straight near the throat instead of the brain, that video is fake. Portrayed by Movies, the gun is pointed straight, this is inaccurate as the bullet can't access the brain. Straight firing has been used for self harm.

Example of through the mouth suicide causing blood leakage through the nose (Budd Dwyer):

The Temple: Shooting yourself in the temple is the most common way for suicide due to it having what seems the easiest way to enter through the brain. Most people who shoot themselves in the temple due so with a handgun, though rifles and shotguns have been used. A good example of a non-handgun temple suicide shooting would be 1444. Most people who shoot themselves in the temple have a frantic response to the gunshot. The gunshot enters through where the muzzle is placed, then exits perpendicular from where the gun is placed.

What a Temple Shot Looks Like:

Through the forehead: Through the forehead shooting is uncommon, but the people who have done so share the same traits with people who shoot through the temple, they want an easy acesss to the brain. The best example for a through the forehead suicide would be Shuaby's Suicide.

What a Through the Forehead Looks Like:

Under the Chin Suicide: Under the chin is where the muzzle of the gun is placed under the chin and the user shoots. This is mostly done with a shotgun or a rifle, and not a handgun. Out of every under the chin suicide I have seen, none of them used a handgun. If done with a shotgun or a rifle, the user starts to drip blood everywhere, and the face looks disfigured and almost like a demogorgan. A example of this would be when this animator killed himself. If you listen, you can hear blood drip on the floor, which also happens in Ronnie Mcnutt's suicide.

Fun Fact! The person in the Ogrish Vol.1 Collection was a under the chin shotgun survivor >

Uncommon Suicide Angels: Before I conclude this post, I will go into certain angels that envolve firearms, that not many people use, and I will list them off now.

• Top Of the Head

• The Chest

• Multiple Gun Shot Suicide: Lower Body

• Ear, Nose, or Throat.

i found about this news while scrolling on a chinese news website. this is all i have found for now.

2nd of june, 2023. apparently the couple, fang xiaotong 方晓彤 and liu jixi 刘继禧, 22 and 26, got murdered by a 39 year old man in plaza hollywood in hong kong.

police senior superintendent said the man bought the knife he used for the murder in the same mall, and he wandered around for a few moments before setting his eyes on the couple.

he first rushed and killed fang xiaotong, with a twelve-inch yusheng knife, pining her on the floor and stabbing her over 25 times. the other woman was trying to shoo the attacker away, but she did not succeed and then he went to kill her as well, who died even if its not showed in the video.

both victims showed injuries and stab wounds on the chest and neck.

after the murder, the assassin did not run away - he just stayed there on the spot while he looked at all the people rushing to help the two victims - that were taken to a hospital for urgent care but pronounced dead some minutes later. the police easily caught him and arrested him on the spot.

besides jixi, only another person, a chef, that news rename brother fai, helped by calling the police to come immediately and arrest the man. but while many people call him a hero for standing up and calling for help, in an interview he says he's just a fool because he did not help the victims directly and therefore he feels bad.

xiaotong worked in a restaurant and jixi was an hairdresser. jixi met xiaotong at a part-time bar.

the man, surnamed situ, was bald and he was unemployed for a long time. he lived with his family. he did not know the two victims. he had a long story of mental illness, and he was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

the homicide was totally random as he just bought a knife, wandered around, picked a casual target and went for the kill.

at the time of the incident, liu jixi and fang xiaotong were planning to attend the birthday dinner of xiaotong 's grandfather after shopping in the mall.

the man is currently arrested by the police.

liu jixi died trying to protect her lover, even if at that point it was too late and she was already dead.

chinese police is covering the fact that the victims were lesbian, and were together for around a couple months, but the families of jixi and xiaotong both confirmed the two women were together.

this is all i could find, there may be some other news somewhere but i could find none in english - if i find something i will add!

security cam caught the murderer choosing a knife to buy, which was later on used for killing the two victims

Father describes how he was forced to watch helplessly while 'meat grinder' tiger shark mauled his son to death as he screamed 'Papa, save me!': Predator is caught and brutally killed on beach

Vladimir Popov, 23, was mauled to death by a tiger shark at Egyptian resort

It comes after a 68-year-old was killed by shark at a nearby resort last year

A distraught Russian father has told of his horror at watching his son be mauled to death by a 'meat grinder' tiger shark at an Egyptian resort as he screamed out: 'Papa, save me!'

Yury Popov was forced to watch helplessly from the shore as the predator circled his son Vladimir, 23, before dragging him under water in the resort of Hurghada.

The tiger shark was then caught and dragged to land by boat before it was killed.

'We went to the beach to relax,' Mr Popov, originally from Russia, told the 112 media outlet. 'My son was attacked by a shark, it all happened in seconds.'

The heartbroken father said there were no family members near his son to help in the water, though initial reports said the 23-year-old's girlfriend had managed to flee the attack.

'What kind of help can you give? This meat grinder happened in 20 seconds, he was just dragged under the water,' Mr Popov said.

The father said: 'This is an absolutely ridiculous coincidence, because it is a safe beach. There are ships and yachts around. It's never happened there. They usually attack on wild beaches. It's just some kind of evil fate.'

Vladimir had been living with his father in Egypt for several months before the horrific attack. Mr Popov said he would cremate his son and return his ashes to their native Russia.

Video shows the tiger shark being caught and dragged ashore by a boat following the attack, and it appeared to be alive before being clubbed to death.

The Egyptian authorities confirmed the shark has been handed over for research to find out the causes of its behaviour and identify whether the animal is related to one that 'caused several previous accidents'.

The 23-year-old can be seen desperately trying to swim towards the shore to no avail. His body is seen spinning in the water, and his legs are raised above the surface.

'Swim away, swim away! Quick! A shark!' people can be heard shouting in the video.

Soon the splashing in the water stops, and the man's head returns to the surface. He appears to be moving around in the water again but slowly.

He can be heard screaming 'Papa', pleading for help, as the water turns red.

The shark's body is seen clearly at the surface at the moment, and its fin and tail are visible as it circles the victim.

The shark turns around again to attack and charges at the victim before clamping its jaws around him and pulling him under water.

The man's head appears above the water one last time, and the shark's body is seen writhing in the ocean as it appears to maul the body and drag it further into the depths of the water.

One witness said: 'The shark's eating his remains now. There she is, eating his remains.' Another said: 'Right in front of my eyes, the shark ate the guy, the girl [the girlfriend] managed to escape. He took the blow from the shark.

'It's a terrible thing, the remains of this man are lying there.'

A new video showed a distraught woman on the beach being comforted by two other woman moments after Vladimir was mauled to death.

It is believed the Russian woman had been pulled out of the water after being close to the man who was killed. It is not known if she was a relative of Popov.

So far Popov's father Yury is the only member of the family to speak.

After witnessing the attack, it evidently took a lengthy time to find the body and bring it onshore.

'Later, the remains were found, and the body was put in a bag and taken to the morgue,' he said.

'Children swam [in the area where the shark attacked] very often - there were children's slides,' another witness said.

'All this happened not far from a descent into the sea, next to the ladder, used by everyone who went into the water.

'At one point, the shark appeared, and immediately bit this man. Rescuers saw this and began to start the boat. He tried to swim away from the shark, but he couldn't.

'And the shark dragged the body for two hours. It constantly dragged him under the water.'

Witnesses said the victim's girlfriend had been in the water at the time of the attack. Russian reports say she is safe and has returned to Russia.

The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the death of a citizen from a shark attack.

Vladimir had moved to the resort with his father at a time when many young males are moving abroad to avoid facing conscription - and likely death - as the brutal war in Ukraine continues.

The family had bought a property at the British Resort in Hurghada, say reports.

Other accounts said he had been staying at the four-star Elysees Dream Beach Hotel in Hurghada.

IT specialist Vladimir 'loved his father very much and was just beginning to live', said a friend.

He was said to be working remotely when he died, as are many young Russian men who are defying Putin.

Born in sub-Arctic city Archangel, or Arkhangelsk, he had moved to Moscow before decamping to Egypt amid the war with Ukraine.

His girlfriend, Anastasia, who is in her early twenties, has so far not spoken of the tragedy.

One female friend said: 'Vova [Vladimir] was a good guy.

'He was only a month away from his birthday.

'Friends say that he moved there [to Egypt] with his father.

'As far as I know, he really liked living in Moscow, his whole life was there.

'Vova was a wonderful person and loved his father very much.'

Oleg, who knew the deceased man, said: 'He was into music. He recorded songs.'

There was speculation that a woman seen on the beach being conformed by two other women was his mother.

But 360TV reported that she was at home in Balashikha, Moscow region.

A source said: 'His mother cried all day. She screamed that she had lost her son.'

The commotion was so great that a neighbour said 'we were even afraid that someone was being killed there'. Locals wanted to call the police.

The 23-year-old is not the first victim to be killed by a shark at the resort.

In July last year, 68-year-old Austrian Elisabeth Sauer was attacked in front of horrified onlookers at a resort in Sahl Hasheesh - 15 minutes after English speaking guests warned Egyptian lifeguards about sharks and their warnings had been laughed off.

ADVERTISEMENT

The resort is a 30-minute drive from Hurghada, where Vladimir was killed.

A second woman - identified only as a Romanian national in her 40s - is thought to have been killed in a similar attack just 650ft away from where Ms Sauer died, with her badly disfigured remains found on a nearby reef the same day.

Ms Sauer lost an arm and a leg in an attack that was caught on film, as onlookers tried to distract the shark and get her to safety.

She reached the shore with the help of a flipper, but died a short time later.

Reports at the time - from news agency AFP and Austrian news outlets - pointed to the attack being committed by a Mako shark, while local Egyptian newspapers named the animal as an Oceanic whitetip shark.

A Russian man who was attacked by a shark in Egypt recorded a video a few hours earlier in which he said:
