KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) - A man accidentally shot himself in the groin as he was robbing a convenience store Tuesday, police said.A clerk told police a man carrying a semiautomatic handgun entered the Village Pantry 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.Police say surveillance video shows the man shooting himself as he placed the gun in the waistband of his pants. 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.Kosch was released from the hospital Tuesday and booked into the Howard County jail on a charge of armed robbery, criminal recklessness and battery. He is being held on a $100,000 cash bail. A jail official did not know if he had retained an attorney Wednesday.
Let this be a lesson to all you petty criminals out there. Learn the rules of Gun Safety before committing your low ball stupid crimes. Put the safety on your gun before putting it in your pants. Of course this is faster than smoking yourself to death. Why did he demand a pack of cigarettes. Why not a whole carton?
