EXTREME WARNING: Man Accidentally Shot In Head In Facebook Livestream


I am giving an EXTREME WARNING on this one.

Please do not proceed if you do not want to see something horribly graphic and disturbing.

WARNING: VERY GRAPHIC, MUCH BLOOD OOZING FROM A HUMAN HEAD.

Ok, you’ve been warned.

So here’s the deal…

This video is from 2018 and it’s from a Facebook Livestream where some fools were messing around with a loaded handgun.

As is ALWAYS the case, guns aren’t inherently bad….it’s the people who operate the guns!

Some people who operate the guns have mental illness.

Others are just plain foolish!

This video falls into the latter category.

While handling (or is that mishandling?) the gun the man in the video is shot right in the head and blood proceeds to gush out almost as if it were a SNL gag with the fake blood or fake vomit flying everywhere.

Only this wasn’t fake.

The good news?

Against all odds, the man survied!

More on that below, but first you can watch the video here:

Thanks to Community Notes on X, we can report that he stunningly did survive:

ABC7 had more details on what happened AFTER the shooting:

The woman who pleaded guilty to shooting a man in the head during a Facebook Live stream is awaiting her sentencing in the case.

On Monday, testimony began in the sentencing phase of Cassandra Damper, who pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with reckless serious bodily injury and tampering with evidence.

In court, Devyn Holmes, the man who was shot during the broadcast, testified, marking the first time he came face-to-face with Damper since the Easter Sunday shooting in 2018.

During that incident, Damper, Holmes and another man were sitting in a car outside of a Valero gas station in southwest Houston, streaming live on Facebook. Video showed that Damper’s gun went off, striking Holmes in the head.

Devyn Holmes was left in critical condition after being shot accidentally by a woman playing with a gun outside a Houston gas station.
Damper’s attorney Monique Sparks maintains the shooting was an accident between friends. Holmes describes Damper as just an acquaintance.

During his testimony, Holmes asked that Damper receive time behind bars because he has been living in his own prison since. He’s unable to walk, dress or use the restroom alone.

It was also revealed during Monday’s hearing that Damper called 911 and reported Holmes shot himself. It wasn’t until the next day that police were able to see the video, which showed Damper pulling the trigger.

The court also revealed that HPD Chief Art Acevedo received a copy of the video from Shaquille O’Neal, who saw it from the “Get It Off Your Chest” Facebook group where the stream was posted.
