Police: Teen Shot Self In Groin During Home Invasion
A Newark, Del., teenager is recovering from a gunshot wound and facing felony charges after police say his attempt at a home invasion went awry. New Castle County police say Jonathan Rodriguez, 17, and two others were allegedly breaking into a Wilmington home Sunday when Rodriguez accidentally shot himself in the groin. Rodriguez was arrested after undergoing emergency surgery at Christiana Hospital. Another suspect was arrested outside the hospital, and a third was taken into custody later. Police say Rodriguez's injuries don't appear to be life-threatening.
Important safety tip here: when you go to burgle somebody's house, and you stick your rod in the waistband of your pants, put the damned safety on!
If you don't, remember to retrieve all that's left of your doinker after you blow it off. Put it in a baggy with some ice, and repair to the nearest hospital. |
