The number of young individuals dying from selfie accidents is fast on the rise.
Parents needs to check their kids attitude to new things from time to time. Some people seem to take everything to the extreme point.
A young man in India has accidentally killed himself while posing for a selfie with his father's gun.
Fifteen-year-old Ramandeep Singh was posing with his father's .32 caliber pistol on Friday evening when he accidentally pulled the trigger, according Manoj Kumar, Deputy Superintendent of Police in Pathankot, Punjab state.
The safety catch wasn't on, police said.
Singh was taken to hospital where he underwent surgery but died of his injuries on Sunday afternoon.
Statistics released earlier this year put India top of the list for selfie-related deaths.

Statistics released earlier this year put India top of the list for selfie-related deaths.
Of 49 fatalities over three years worldwide, India accounted for 19 -- nearly 40% of the global total.
Earlier this year, the spate of deaths prompted authorities in Mumbai to impose no-selfie zones.
Police are instructed to step in if they see anyone attempting to take selfies in high-risk locations, including the seafront, a popular area for young people carrying selfie sticks.
