IRONY CAN BE PRETTY IRONIC Colorado man who laughed Monday when he first read Vice President Dick Cheney had shot a hunting companion was himself injured just hours later when he was accidentally blasted by his girlfriend in his own hunting mishap.
"I read that thing about the vice president and said to myself 'How can you shoot your friend with your gun?' And look what happened," said Josh Kayser of Lafayette, Colo.
According to the Longmont Daily Times-Call, the 21-year-old man was on the trail of raccoons that had been preying on chickens on his family's property.
As Kayser crouched down to look under a shed, his 17-year-old girlfriend, whose name was not released by authorities, crouched down behind him and accidentally shot him with a .22-caliber rifle.
The bullet reportedly entered behind his right ear, exited through his chin and ended up lodging in his left forearm.
Doctors chose not to remove the bullet, lest they cause nerve damage.
"I feel fine," Kayser told the paper. "It feels like a cigarette burn."
Kayser was discharged from Avista Adventist Hospital after spending the night, and police decided against filing any charges against his girlfriend.
This guy's girlfriend better hope he doesn't die or she could be brought up on negligent homicide charges.
I predict a long and happy future for this relationship. < eyeroll>
got to hate when that happens
Jailbait Fights Back.
This sounds like a Jerry Lee Lewis story.
Girls with Guns Gone Wild
17 year old with 21 year old, and no questions asked?
The bullet reportedly entered behind his right ear, exited through his chin and ended up lodging in his left forearm.
Sorry, but the nerve dameage is already there. Not to mention the heavy metal poisoning from the lead bullet, and the possibility of infection.
Next stop-The Jerry Springer show.
You mean to tell me that this was first reported in some no-name paper and not by CNN or the networks, he and his girlfriend are obviously trying to cover something up./sarcasm off
When was the President informed about this?
That'll teach ya........
Those who live in glass houses and all that....
Ain't Karma a bitch?
According to THE new york times, if Kayser dies, his girlfriend could face manslaughter charges.
Has she tendered her resignation from Hooters, or rather, can we expect her tender her resignation from Hooters?
