A US policewoman died after being accidentally shot by one of her colleagues while playing Russian roulette.

A spokesman for the St. Louis police department said the policeman abused his firearm and accidentally fired at his colleague Kathleen Alex.

Police initially described the incident as accidental murder, but prosecutors in the city spoke of another story. They said police officers were playing serious Russian roulette, putting one shot in the pistol store and pointing guns at his colleague before pressing the trigger. .
