Pen gun kills budding rap singer




ST. PARIS, Ohio (AP) — Steven Zorn had put the pen gun to his head and clicked before, apparently thinking it was jammed and would not work.

But on the third try, the tiny silver pistol went off as the 22-year-old budding rap artist was drinking to celebrate an impending record deal. He died at a hospital.

The Nov. 18 shooting at Zorn’s home in this rural village of 2,000, about 50 miles northeast of Dayton, is believed to have been accidental, according to family, friends and law enforcement officials.

“Steven had a career and his dreams all ahead of him,” said Zorn’s mother, Lisa McCoy-Horn. She said she wants lawmakers to outlaw pen guns, which are small-caliber, single-shot weapons that resemble pens.

Zorn had taught himself to play the keyboard and record tracts using inexpensive software on his home computer. He tracked down rap artist Miracle in Georgia and urged the crunk artist to listen to a CD of his original recordings.

“The lyrical content was awesome,” Miracle said. “He had a lot of skill. I took a liking to him, took him under my wing.”

Apparently he didn't have that little spark going off in the back of his mind reminding him that dryfiring firearms into his temple isn't amongst the wiser things in life to attempt. His career didn't make it far... but his brain sure did.

It's called thinning the herd. Anybody stupid enough to put a gu to their head three times and pull the trigger...well, is too stupid to live.

Anyone remember John Eric Hexum ?

It was in the summer of 1985. Between filming movie scenes. He was just fooling around. He placed a blank shell in the revolver he was using in the movie. No doubt he thought that blanks were harmless. He spun the cylinder, placed it to his temple, pulled the trigger and blasted the wadding of the blank into his temple. He played Russian Roulette and lost.

You're preachin' to the choir.

Oh well. He probably would have gotten capped at a party in three or four years anyway.

I found that to be rather strange. Rappers usually die by shooting their mouths off...
