Suicide needs to be a public health priority, although it is not among the leading causes of death. According to the data of the world health organization, every year hundreds of thousands of people end their lives by committing suicide. The methods used for committing suicide are very diverse. The most common method is excessive drug use. We present a rare case of firearm injury, which has been described as a suicide shoulder in the literature.
