Teen Trying to Kill Snake Shoots Himself
June 08, 2005 9:58 PM EDT

PORT WENTWORTH, Ga. - A snake in the grass is to blame for a teenager shooting himself in the leg, police said. A 16-year-old boy was mowing his lawn Tuesday when he saw a snake slithering toward his dogs, which were chained in the front yard, police said.

Worried about the canines, the boy ran inside and grabbed a .22-caliber pistol, said Port Wentworth police Sgt. Loren Scholes.

The boy came back outside and when he saw the snake at his feet, he hastily aimed and fired. The bullet entered his right calf and exited near his heel, Scholes said.
The boy was taken to an area hospital. Police said the wound was not life-threatening.

Scholes said he did not know what kind of snake it was, but "from what he described, it sounded as big as a freight train." The sergeant added that the reptile apparently escaped unscathed.

Maybe a lesson well learned? Likely not. Too bad he didn't get his scrotum and remove his genes from the reproductive pool

LMAO!!!

You know, there was a guy here in town that kinda did that......well, he's actually kinda the town drunk....he got all drunked up, and tried to shoot a gopher or woodchuck or something, and shot one of his nads off.

I didn't know his real name for years, everyone just calls him "Unit".
