JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 30 (UPI) -- Florida sheriff's deputy Matt Barnes was celebrating his 26th birthday when he accidentally shot himself fatally in the face while showing friends his gun. The Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union reported that Barnes, who was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting Friday, had been showing friends a handgun he had claimed to be unloaded when it discharged. Authorities said alcohol likely played a part in the St. Johns County officer's death and that the two-year Sheriff's Office veteran had pulled the trigger himself went the gun went off. www.politicalgateway.com/news/read/39322
