Maybe it was karma.
Three men attempted to kidnap a teenager in a dispute over stereo speakers shortly before 4:45 p.m. on Monday, Wichita police reported. One of the three pulled out a gun and fired it at the teen in the 1000 block of South Wichita.
The shot missed the teen. But then the shooter jammed the gun back into the waistband of his pants -- and it went off.
The bullet struck the 23-year-old man in his left testicle, causing him to cringe -- which caused the gun to fire again.
The second shot struck him in the left calf.
Police did not release information about the size of the gun he was using at the time.
The wounded man walked into Via Christi Regional Medical Center-St. Francis Campus seeking treatment, police said, and was later booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on suspicion of aggravated assault and aggravated attempted kidnapping.

A kick in the groin can bring a guy to his knees, but a bullet causes this man a mere cringe?

Too bad it didn't take the other testacle off. It would help prevent future crime.

Nice story, but it bothers me that the article implies that this was yet another case of a dangerous evil gun going off by itself -- twice!
the shooter jammed the gun back into the waistband of his pants -- and it went off accidentally pulled the trigger in the process.
causing him to cringe -- which caused the gun to fire him to accidentally pull the trigger again.
