Ohio woman allegedly killed by her friend during Russian Roulette game

Something we thought only existed in mobster movies happened right here in Ohio.

Earlier this month, Rachel Counts, 23, died from a gunshot wound to her chest in Cincinnati, according to Cincinnati Police Department.

Counts was playing a game of cards with her friend Omarion Horne, who allegedly told her that he wanted to play Russian Roulette. He allegedly pulled out a gun, removed all but one of the bullets, and pointed the gun at Counts, firing a bullet into her chest.

Horne is charged with felony murder, felonious assault, and reckless homicide, with a bond set at $1 million.
