Cops: Man Shoots Himself in Groin During Store Robbery
Tuesday , January 15, 2008

KOKOMO, Ind. —

A man accidentally shot himself in the groin as he was robbing a convenience store, police said.

A clerk told police a man carrying a semiautomatic handgun entered the Village Pantry Tuesday morning demanding cash and a pack of cigarettes. The clerk put the cash in a bag and as she turned to get the cigarettes, she heard the gun discharge.

Surveillance video shows the man shooting himself as he placed the gun in the waistband of his pants, police said. The clerk wasn't injured.

A short time later, police found 25-year-old Derrick Kosch at a home with a gunshot wound to his right testicle and lower left leg. He was expected to have surgery at a hospital.

Police plan to charge him with armed robbery.

Ouch? Police: Man Shot Himself In Genitals During Robbery

http://www.theindychannel.com/news/15051234/detail.html

Not quite sure how to score this one. Is it possible to get a Darwin award for simply removing yourself from the gene pool without actually killing yourself?

Also a great example for those who don't like to use a holster...

The clerk said that as she retrieved the cigarettes she heard a gunshot and turned to confront the man, who yelled that he had shot himself.

Police said the man grabbed the bag full of cash and fled the store.

In-store surveillance cameras showed that the man, who police identified as Derrick Kosch, 25, of Kokomo, shot himself as he placed the gun into the waistband of his pants, police said. Authorities declined to release the surveillance footage early Tuesday.

Bad guy: -1?

 

[MakAttak]

Ouch...

And, incidentally, yes, you can get a Darwin award without dying, just as long as you are removed from the gene pool.

So this guy might qualify.

 

[MakAttak]

Wow, so which of these near simultaneous threads gets closed as a duplicate?

 

[30 cal slob]

i wuz first.

Is it possible to get a Darwin award for simply removing yourself from the gene pool without actually killing yourself?

Of course.

Repeat after me, children: Keep your finger off of the trigger until you're ready to shoot. Never point your gun at anything you're not willing to destroy. ...

 

[CJ]

You won by 30 seconds! I just can't find a mod alert to get them combined.

 

[Titan6]

Never point your gun at anything you're not willing to destroy.

Let us let that one ferment for a awhile

 

[MICHAEL T]

He was a jerk and paid the price. They will love this story in prison

 

[rbernie]

Put him in MaxSecurity - we've caught the Uniballer, boys!

 

[romma]

Man that clerk must have freaked after hearing the gun go off!

 

[El Tejon]

Maybe not. I've had clerks describe pistol shots as tiny pops before--auditory exclusion, low powered pistols, spacious Kwik-E-Marts, etc.

 

[romma]

Maybe not. I've had clerks describe pistol shots as tiny pops before

Good point El Tejon, my experience was a .25 in a living room pointed directly at me from 3 feet away... In my case it was loud, but if someone had a low-powered pistol shoved in their pants then maybe not...

One thing is for sure,,, The gunman most certainly freaked!

 

[Feanaro]

That's almost enough to make me feel sorry for the SOB.

Almost.

 

[Bazooka Joe71]

That's almost enough to make me feel sorry for the SOB.

Almost.

Nah, not even almost.

It should be mandatory, if you get caught...shot to Mr.'s.

 

[Dave P]

Great Balls of Fire! Maybe he was trying a new cure for jock itch?

I wonder if his friends will call Derrick Dick from now on?

 

[Cougfan2]

Put him in MaxSecurity - we've caught the Uniballer, boys!

That one made me snort on my monitor!

 

[30 cal slob]

Man that clerk must have freaked after hearing the gun go off!

yeah. i would too if i had to clean up that mess. a little leg muscle, a little blood, a little right nut...

 

[Guitargod1985]

we've caught the Uniballer, boys!

ROFL. It's a good thing I wasn't in the library when I read that.

 

[Waitone]

Thinkin' about it just sets your eyes to waterin'.

 

[The Annoyed Man]

I have personally seen this type of injury several times. Back when I worked in a big ER we had several patients over the years who were brought in with self inflicted gunshot wounds to the beans and franks. But the absolute funniest one was a guy who had shot himself through both his (ahem!) "little head" AND his left testicle. He kept repeating this crazy story about how some guy knocked him down onto his back, and then reached down and (demonstrating how the alleged perp held his pistol down low and parallel to the ground) shot him in his business.

Never mind that it was obvious that the entire muzzle blast had been contained within the front of his jockey shorts with most of the powder residue on the inside.

 

[ThomasT]

I think he is only half removed from the gene pool.

There was similar story about someone who wanted lobster for diner. He just didn't want to pay for it. So he stuck a live lobster in his pocket. He made it to the parking lot before the lobster latched on to his gonads.

He passed out. The store manager had to break off the claw on the lobster to get it to let go. The manager didn't press charges, i guess he thought justice had been served.

 

[Robert Hairless]

Kokomo, Indiana, is far too tough on smokers.

 

[doc2rn]

Cant stop laughin, "uniballer" that was great! Justice served twice, lets say it together, Can't Stand Stupid.

 

[CentralTexas]

Wow, a true "gun-nut" case....
