On Wednesday, three friends, Dewayne Atkins, 29, Gary Walker, 43, and Robert Bordeaux, were partying together at the Terri Jean Mobile Home Park in Thomasville, North Carolina. Around 8:30 in the evening -- after they had been drinking for awhile -- Dewayne Atkins suggested a friendly game of Russian Roulette.

His friend Gary Walker sat next to him on the couch and watched as Dewayne pointed a 357 Magnum to his head and pulled the trigger. With a loud bang the bullet went through Dewayne's head and directly into Gary's -- killing Dewayne instantly leaving Gary seriously injured.

Rescue workers arrived around 10 p.m. and found the two men. Robert Bordeaux, who witnessed the incident, said that his friends talked about playing the game in the past, but he usually managed to talked them out of it.
