A man in Sicily in Italy asked a friend to shoot him in the groin in the hope of making his ex-girlfriend feel sorry for him, police said.
Police in the central Sicilian city of Piazza Armerina said they became suspicious when the 27-year-old went to hospital with wounds from a hunting rifle's pellets in the groin area.
At first he said the wounds had been caused in a hunting accident, but later admitted he had asked a 16-year-old friend to shoot him in an attempt to win back the affection of his girlfriend, who had apparently left him because of his violent character.
The man's wounds are expected to heal, doctors said.
Police said the man and the 16-year-old had been charged in connection with the shooting.
Local reports said the man's ex-girlfriend had made clear she never wanted to see him again.

Very funny :)
About that "friend"... Extremely loyal, or his worst enemy? I mean - there has got to be some hidden hatred there, to shoot your friend there!

Good move on the part of the girlfriend for dumping this guy. He's a loser. If anything he confirmed why she should NEVER take him back - let alone feel sorry for him. This poor soul really doesn't understand women.
