ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Authorities say a soldier told police a fellow soldier asked for a bullet to put in a gun's empty chamber before he fatally shot himself during a drunken game of Russian roulette.
Jacob Brouch is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 26-year-old Army friend — Michael McCloskey — following the early Sunday shooting at Brouch's home in Eagle River, an Anchorage suburb.
Police say the men posed for Facebook photos with a revolver belonging to then 25-year-old Brouch, then were playing Russian roulette when McCloskey shot himself in his stomach.
McCloskey died soon after at an Anchorage hospital.
Brouch appeared in court Monday.
