Woman accidentally shoots herself dead with gun bought for protection

A woman accidentally shot herself in the head with a gun bought for protection from violent protests in Ferguson, reports claim.

The 26-year-old, named in a police report as Becca Campbell, was holding the gun in her boyfriend’s car when he unintentionally rear-ended another vehicle, a police report said.

It caused the gun to go off, hitting Miss Campbell, who died hours later in hospital…

 The boyfriend, who wasn’t identified, told police that the couple had bought a gun because of fears of unrest related to the pending grand jury decision on the shooting of Michael Brown.
