``He put two bullets in the cylinder, closed it and pointed the gun at himself and said, `We're going to play Russian roulette,' pulled the trigger and the gun went off,'' said Harris.

Adamakis's girlfriend and another girl were in the home, but it is not known whether they were in the room with Adamakis when he fired the gun.
