TACOMA A 16-year-old boy’s plan to rob a pot dealer went awry Friday when he accidentally shot himself in the groin, court documents say.

Police responded to a 9:18 p.m. 911 report of someone screaming that they had shot themselves at 9330 59th Ave. SE in Lakewood, Wash., the records state.

Officers found the teenager with a gunshot wound through his left groin and left buttocks, and a robber mask nearby.

The teenager was taken to Madigan Army Medical Center at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, where a seven-hour operation repaired a fractured pelvis, fractured femur and severely damaged femoral artery, records state.

The teenager is being held on suspicion of committing first-degree robbery with a firearm sentencing enhancement and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Wow. A thug almost killed himself. Humph.

Say, who do y’all think Trump will choose as his running mate?

Should have let him exsanguinate. Waste of medical care

That’s too funny.

Those white thugs just don’t know how to handle a firearm. The perp was white, right?

Armed robbery? Of a pot dealer? In a state where pot is legal?

Doesn’t exsanguination require a permit?

The teenager went to put the gun back into his pants and the weapon fired a bullet through his leg.

You see that in the movies all the time. In real life, however, it apparently doesn't work that well. Especially after one shoots themselves in the ass.

In one sense it is a good use of military medical care.

Military docs/nurses and medics need to keep their wartime skills honed for future deployments. That’s one reason the military runs civilian trauma centers.

The Yankee Marshal on youtube has a video entitled “appendix carry: because who really needs two testicles?” It’s a scream.

He left his buttocks nearby? Does this mean he shot his a$$ off?
