> A YouTube stunt turned tragic when a teenager from Minnesota, United States, shot her boyfriend to death on Thursday, Utusan Malaysia reported.

The couple, Monalisa Perez, 19, and Pedro Ruiz, 22, carried out the deadly stunt, hoping to boost popularity and followers on their YouTube channel.

In the video, Ruiz held a book 30cm away from his chest while Perez used a Desert Eagle pistol with .50-caliber bullets to shoot at his chest through the book.

They believed the book would block the bullet but their stunt backfired. Their three-year-old child is said to be in the same room where they filmed the video.

Perez had been detained on the charge of killing her boyfriend.
