This is probably old news but some how it made me laugh.

Kidnap attempt is total balls-up (http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.ht ... _page_id=2)

Wednesday, November 15, 2006

A man attempting to kidnap a teenager saw his plans go painfully wrong when, stuffing his gun back into his waistband, he shot himself in the testicle.

The incident occurred in Wichita, Kansas, after a dispute that reportedly involved stereo speakers (exactly what it was about the stereo speakers that provoked an attempted kidnapping is unclear, but they must have been very nice speakers).

Three men, aged 23, 20 and 18, confronted a teenager on Monday afternoon. The eldest would-be kidnapper pulled out a gun and fired at the teen, but missed. He then shoved the gun back into the waistband of his trousers.

That's when it went off, shooting him in the left testicle.

This event caused the man to wince – well, it would do – and unfortunately for him, the motion of wincing caused the gun to go off again.

Luckily for him, it didn't take out the other testicle. It just shot him in the left calf instead.

The man hobbled to a local hospital, where he sought treatment for a bullet through the testicle. He and his accomplices now face charges of attempted kidnapping, aggravated assault and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

Again, one of those scenes if seen in a movie you would think, "How contrived is that!" I laughed out loud.

I didn't have time to snopes it yet and it does sound a bit apocryphal.
