MIMS, Fla. — Police say a man who was checking to see if a bullet was
still in the chamber of a pistol has died after he put the gun to his
head and pulled the trigger, accidentally shooting himself.

Authorities say 49-year-old Charles Cooper shot himself at 1:50 a.m.
Sunday during a weekend fishing trip and a cookout in Mims.

Police say Cooper had been drinking beer. At one point during the
gathering, he retrieved a handgun.

Cooper's friends told investigators that after he removed the magazine
from the gun, he asked if there was still a round in the chamber.

Cooper then raised the gun to his head and pulled the trigger,
discharging a round.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.
