I love happy endings.

Maybe it was karma.

Three men attempted to kidnap a teenager in a dispute over stereo speakers shortly before 4:45 p.m. on Monday, Wichita police reported. One of the three pulled out a gun and fired it at the teen in the 1000 block of South Wichita.

The shot missed the teen. But then the shooter jammed the gun back into the waistband of his pants -- and it went off.

The bullet struck the 23-year-old man in his left testicle, causing him to cringe -- which caused the gun to fire again.

The second shot struck him in the left calf.

Police did not release information about the size of the gun he was using at the time.

The wounded man walked into Via Christi Regional Medical Center-St. Francis Campus seeking treatment, police said, and was later booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on suspicion of aggravated assault and aggravated attempted kidnapping.

His companions, ages 18 and 20, were arrested for aggravated attempted kidnapping and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

ETA- "the gun went off" - sigh

Hooray

There are times that a shooting will bring tears to my eyes. This time its tears of laughter. OMG my ribs hurt. It was funny when it went off the first time but to have it go off a second time. Now that's funny stuff.

talk about ruining any chances for a future money shot!

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "gun nut."

I wonder how much he will get when he takes the gun manufacturer to court.

I figure he can get them for the loss of his nuts,
then you have to think that he would not have been caught and arrested if it would not have happened, so he can get them for violating his civil rights

since he will set in jail, he can get them for lost wages on the crimes he could have committed if still free.

then there is the pants and the shoes, mental anguish, lawyers fees, family stress defamation of character because the article hit the news.

oh and the need to replace his handgun with a better one when he gets out of jail.

Way I see it, he should be good for a couple million by the time its all over.

This was on Paul Harvey this morning - he kept adding - ouch - without saying where the bullet went.

Are you still eligible for a Darwin award if you take yourself out of the gene pool and live to tell about it?

No. I submitted a story. The Darwin recipient must have died from injuries suffered during the shining moment of brilliance.
