Shoot me (with a billiard cue)

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A 26-year-old man entered a bar in a small Russian town Tomilino, near Moscow, and was stopped by a security guard, who noticed a gun concealed in the man's pocket. The man tried to threaten the guard with the weapon, but the guard kicked it out of his hands, and it fell on a billiard table nearby. When the guard asked the players to pass the gun over to him, one of them, a 19-year-old man, couldn't think of a better way to accomplish it other than to pick it up with his cue. The gun slid all the way down the cue, whose increasing thickness was sufficient to push the trigger and shoot the 19-year-old in the chest. He died immediately. The owner of the gun said that he intended to surrender the gun to the police that day and went to the bar in order to summon some courage with help of alcohol.

Oh dear you could see that one coming! I would like to see some confirmation. Do we have a Russian reader?

Weird, kind of like an Escher print where the gun points in all directions at all times. Put in the Slush Pile and see what other readers think.

Gun accident, but slightly novel.
