Man caught urinating on Brooklyn street shoots himself in the groin while trying to ditch gun: police
A strapped 26-year-old man caught by cops taking a leak on a Brooklyn street early Saturday tried to toss his gun away but accidentally blasted himself in the groin, officials said.

Police patrolling E. 93rd St. near Clarkson Ave. in East Flatbush spotted Javier Thomas, urinating about 1:15 a.m., officials said. When Thomas saw the cops approach he tried to discard his 9-mm. Glock — but accidentally pulled the trigger and shot himself in the privates, cops said

Man apparently accidentally shoots his leg during movie at Salina theater

A man was transported to Salina Regional Health Center on Friday night after he apparently accidentally shot himself in the leg midway through a movie at Central Mall.

Salina Police Department watch commander Sean Furbeck said the incident remains under investigation, but the gunshot wound likely was self-inflicted. He said police were not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident, which occurred at about 8:30 p.m. in one of the small theaters behind the ticket sales area.

...She said a man yelled, “Oh, my God! I just shot myself! I just got my concealed carry.”

Revolver Falls Out Of Waistband, Kills Gun Owner — Lessons Need To Be Learned From This

KASILOF, ALASKA — A man accidentally killed himself when his revolver slipped from his waistband while he was working on his truck. According to KTUU 2, the victim died on the scene before medical personnel could treat him for a critical gunshot wound. While tragic, it definitely highlights a reality many gun owners are faced with — how to handle a firearm while working.

Man 'shoots himself in penis and tries to blame black guy'

After the 43-year-old took himself to hospital suffering from a gun shot wound in a place that was particularly painful, he told police that he had been the victim of an attempted hold-up by a “black guy”.

And so officers went to his flat in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, looking for evidence of the attack.

Instead they discovered a witness who told officers he heard screams of pain coming from Mr Watson’s apartment about 1am that morning, according to the Argus Leader.
