Not only that, but loaded without the safety. He probably had a hair trigger too. Knowing a lot of these people.
Edit: Sounds like there might be more to this.

I literally didn't know what to think.
A "Wait, what??" moment.
Jesus.
There is a reason I cant stand people having a gun out. Unless you mean to use it there is no fucking reason to have a gun out.
I've lost my shit on family members taking their gun out to show it around. It's not a fucking prop and unless you are trying to shoot something, intending to shoot, something get that shit out of here

Besides the stupid idea of pointed a gun at someone for a picture, why would you load the gun or even have you finger on the trigger?
Oh no, they have kids. Imagine being this responsible with kids. They were there when it happened. How are they going to process how their dad died?
She shot him with a rifle and thought he was playing?
People have poor trigger discipline. It isn't my more liberal values that has me supporting gun control. I've been shooting since I was ten and I've seen some shit. People need better training or they shouldn't have a pistol. I've been slacking on getting out and shooting for some time now, but one of the last times, I remember some asshole trying to clear a fucking jam next to my wife and myself while the barrel kept hovering in my direction. Let the dude have it, but it's not the first time I've seen such bullshit. A lot of folks have no business owning one or have some cowboy fantasy.
Why the fuck would you point a loaded gun at someone?? Why the hell would you point a gun at someone period?? I've never owned a gun in my life and even I know you're not supposed to point the barrel end of a gun at someone.
Failed the first and second rule of gun safety.
1) treat every gun like a loaded gun
2) don't point your gun at something you don't want to shoot

Well I don't live in neverland, so as of now, I'll discuss the reality of the situation as it is.
Not to be a crazy liberal here or anything, but maybe it should be a federal requirement that gun safety classes should be something you have to take before you can own a gun.
I'm guessing she's sick, and she's wearing that to prevent spread of disease. Obviously the mugshot can't be taken with it covering her face, so they likely asked her to lower it for a second for the photo.
Umm yes. That how it works.
I sure as hell wouldn't take a picture of someone pointing a gun at me unless I knew for sure the gun was empty.
I've fired a gun on two occasions in my life, and even I know you never ever under any circumstances point a gun at a person, loaded or unloaded. Are there any requirements whatsoever for gun ownership in Texas? Do you not at least get a talking too? Jesus.
Why was her finger on the trigger? As a gun owner, it's not easy to accidentally pull a trigger in general. You have to give it a bit to pull it...
I like this idea and all, but how many people would actually follow the first rule of gun safety? (Treat every firearm as if it is loaded. Meaning, don't point it at people...)
Depends on the trigger. There are hair triggers that only require the lightest force to set off. They're usually reserved for target rifles, though. But still, trigger weight can vary greatly.
One problem with this is that it prevents people who are trying to practice safely from doing so. I'm going to be much less likely to practice shooting if it's costing me an excessive amount each session. Could potentially lead to more gun owners still carrying around their weapons but with significantly less familiarity with them since they've never actually shot them.
had to make the photo look real bro or else they'd call her out on it....
Should be convicted. Every photo I've been in or taken involving a gun they were pointed in one of two directions: Downrange or up. Just common god damned sense.
You never, ever, ever point a gun at someone unless you mean to use it on them. It's gun safety 101, and there's a reason it gets echoed over and over.
This is a damn shame, and I hope his friends and family are able to recover from this.

So after a loud bang went off in between her and her boyfriend, she thought him falling to the ground unresponsive was a joke?
???
This. Also why the hell was the rifle loaded, with the safety off? Sounds like this person had zero knowledge of how to handle a firearm.
Or shot him on purpose, as that other link seems to suggest.
