Cheap Shot!

Man shoots self in genitals, lies to police:
(USA TODAY: September 25, 2015)
A convicted felon who accidentally shot himself in the penis was arrested after police say he lied about how the shooting happened.

Donald Anthony Watson was admitted to the Avera McKennan emergency room about 1:30 a.m. Sept. 6 for a gunshot wound to his penis, according to an arrest affidavit.
When questioned by police, the 43-year-old said he was shot by “a black guy (who) tried to rob” him while he was taking out the trash at his apartment.

Victim later admitted that he shot himself in the  umm ummm while lying in bed playing with his "gun" (victim not specific in this area, but apparently very accurate in other senses of the term).

Okay, it wasn't really "Appendix Carry"
Two days after the surgery, Watson was re-interviewed about the shooting. He told officer he was examining the gun, placed it in his pocket and the gun discharged striking him in the penis. He refused to tell officers who was selling the gun and where the gun is now.
Watson was then arrested on charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of firearm by drug offender, false report of a crime to law enforcement and false report of information to law enforcement.
Hasn't the man suffered enough?

I have too much ... pride ... to indulge in any of the obvious smirking puns which come to mind.

Except (of course) for the title.
