A woman was fatally shot Saturday when her brother dropped a gun on the ground, causing it to fire unexpectedly, investigators say. 
 
 Renee Chaires, 39, was at her brother Eric Stayton's home in the 5600 block of Ed White Court in the Chaires Community Saturday night. About a dozen people were celebrating Chaires' and her 23-year-old daughter's birthdays, according to Leon County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. James McQuaig. 
 
 Chaires was standing next her daughter in the home's carport when Stayton, 50, began re-creating a scene from the movie "Tombstone." Stayton was twirling a gun in the air when the gun fell to the ground and discharged, hitting Chaires in the neck. She later died. 
 
 Stayton has not been charged in the case, but LCSO is still investigating, said McQuaig. He said the department plans to get all the facts and then present them to the State Attorney's Office.

 Eric Stayton took a cue from the 1993 flick “Tombstone,” in which actor Michael Biehn, as Johnny Ringo, twirls his pistol during a barroom showdown with Val Kilmer, playing Doc Holliday. 
 
 Stayton turned the birthday celebration into a crime scene Saturday night when he accidentally shot his sister, 39-year-old Renee, Chaires, while she was standing next to her 23-year-old daughter and surrounded by about a dozen friends and relatives, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

– Some things are best left to the experts—or Hollywood stuntmen. A Florida man learned this the hard way when he attempted to re-enact an elaborate gunplay scene from the 1993 movie Tombstone and dropped his gun; it fired, the stray bullet struck his sister Renee Chaires in the neck, and she died. Eric Stayton, 50, had been hosting a birthday party for 39-year-old Chaires and her 23-year-old daughter, reports the Tallahassee Democrat. Stayton has not been charged, reports the New York Daily News, though the investigation is pending. Apparently Stayton had been twirling his gun in the air in front of about a dozen friends and family members and dropped it when he attempted to slide it into his holster. The loaded weapon fired when it hit the concrete floor. (A similar accident proved less fatal when a professor shot himself in the foot in front of his chemistry class.)
