A man was arrested for manslaughter after allegedly smoking marijuana with a friend and shooting him after the friend said he could “dodge a bullet,” according to arrest documents.
Ashton Jonathan Mann, 23, was arrested just after 4 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 2, on one count of second-degree felony manslaughter and one third-degree felony charge related to firearms.

In an interview with detectives, after he was read his Miranda rights, Mann reportedly told officials he and his friend had smoked marijuana around 8 p.m., and were talking about guns in the kitchen.
Mann and his friend later went into the detached garage to continue their conversation. They were reportedly handling two different handguns when the victim “said he can dodge a bullet,” documents said.
Mann told officials he and his friend unloaded each gun before he pointed a firearm at the victim and pulled the trigger, with his friend trying to “jump out of the way to prove he could move before the trigger was pulled.” Mann told officials they repeated that about six times.
“[Mann] said the final time the gun fired striking [the victim] in the chest,” arrest documents said.
“Unloaded.”
I would put money on that b gun in question was a revolver. They popped the cylinder to the side and pulled out all of the bullets without actually rotating the cylinder meaning that one was still in when they pop the cylinder back in that one was probably under the hammer so that when he pulled the hammer back it moved it out of the way and so they went through five dry fires and then the bullet was back underneath the hammer.
It would have to be, there’s no way a semi auto would be capable of behaving as described.
Although they’d probably manage it with a matchlock.
