Thinking shotgun is empty, Evanston man fatally shoots himself | Evanston Review

A 31-year-old Evanston man is dead after shooting himself in the head with what he thought was an unloaded shotgun in front of a group of friends Sunday night.

Evanston police were called to an apartment in the 800 block of Howard Street about 9:45 p.m. for a caller who said a man had accidentally shot himself in the head, a statement from police said.

The victim, identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office as Eric Zyzanski, 31, was found “on the floor with a shotgun wound to his head. The shotgun was lying beside him,” police said.

He was pronounced dead at a hospital about two hours later, according to police and medical examiner’s office.
