Ouch!


This is a horrible news story and I don't mean to make fun of it. Please don't think I am being insensitive, but I have a duty to report weird news. A 23-year old policeman in Moscow was working in a court security facility. No one had heard from him and his supervisor could not reach him. The sergeant went to check on him at his post and found the man on the floor with his head under the desk. The policeman had an itchy nose and used the tip of his gun to scratch it. The gun accidentally went off, shooting the bullet into his face and head. The investigation ruled out suicide or foul play, it was just a freaky accident. Lesson learned: Never scratch an itch with a loaded gun.
