ST. PARIS, Ohio (Dec. 6) - Steven Zorn had put the pen gun to his head and clicked before, apparently thinking it was jammed and would not work.
But on the third try, the tiny silver pistol went off as the 22-year-old budding rap artist was drinking to celebrate an impending record deal. He died at a hospital.
The Nov. 18 shooting at Zorn's home in this rural village of 2,000, about 50 miles northeast of Dayton, is believed to have been accidental, according to family, friends and law enforcement officials.
"Steven had a career and his dreams all ahead of him," said Zorn's mother, Lisa McCoy-Horn. She said she wants lawmakers to outlaw pen guns, which are small-caliber, single-shot weapons that resemble pens.
Zorn had taught himself to play the keyboard and record tracks using inexpensive software on his home computer. He tracked down rap artist Miracle in Georgia and urged the crunk artist to listen to a CD of his original recordings.
"The lyrical content was awesome," Miracle said. "He had a lot of skill. I took a liking to him, took him under my wing."

Well, while it'd be politically correct to say "Oh what a tragic loss", all I can think of is "1 down, too many to go". :PMaybe this will be the next trend for all the homies in the 'hood. If we could find a way to incorporate it into all their bling bling, we could do the world a big favor, yo

What's sad is probably the only ones that'd get offed would be suburban white kids trying to be black on their way home from the mall ::)Maybe that would cause rap sales to plummet ;D
