YouTube prankster jailed for shooting boyfriend dead
A US woman has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment for shooting dead her boyfriend in a botched stunt they hoped would go viral on YouTube.
Monalisa Perez, now 20, was asked by Pedro Ruiz, 22, to fire a gun from a foot (30cm) away, believing a thick book he held in front of his chest would shield him.
The bullet pierced the 1.5in book, fatally wounding Ruiz last June.
Perez, a mother of two, later pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter.
