Something is so wrong with this story. Human Nature some say? If that is the case, I am surprised we have survived this long. Sad to think, he probably also has a license to drive, and can vote. My Dad was a hunter and shooter, and I target shot and competed over the years, and I can never think of a time where I walked into a room where the first thing handy was a revolver or any kind of firearm. Now I am not saying I am from the deep end, but at the very least the gene pool was up to my waist!! I think there is more to this story than Jorge says there is. --JohnOh--

MAN USES GUN TO SCRATCH BACK, SHOOTS HIMSELF
FORT WORTH — A Fort Worth man trying to scratch an itch on his back used a revolver and accidentally shot himself.
Jorge Espinal, 44, was drinking beer and playing poker around 3 a.m. Sunday morning in his home in the 3500 block of Montague Street, when he got up from the table and walked into another room, said Fort Worth police Lt. Kenneth Dean.
“He told officers he had an itch on his back and grabbed the first thing he could get a hold of, which was a revolver,” Lt. Dean said. “The gun went off."
Espinal went back and told his buddies that he shot himself. “They didn’t believe him until they saw the blood coming down his back,” Lt. Dean said.
Espinal was taken to an area hospital where he was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries.

ReplyDeleteAh -- so true, just a near darwin award candidate /:-)
ReplyDeleteHe grabbed the first thing on hand [a gun] to scratch an itch on his back, managed to shoot himself [finger must have been near the trigger] then walk back into the room to tell his mates about it [who didn't hear the shot].....he should have just used his knuckle scrapped hands, they would have been long enough hehe :)
ReplyDeleteprobably stopped on the way home to buy beer for breakfast

ReplyDeleteGood grief. It takes all kinds to make the world go round. At least he didn't shoot someone else while scratching.......... sorry, that wasn't very nice.
