A man who told Mesa police he was shot by a prowler later admitted he accidentally shot himself.
At around 1:15 a.m. Tuesday, Mesa police responded to a call in the 500 block of South Nevada Way. Officers found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to his right thigh. A woman at the home wasn’t harmed. The victim was taken to Scottsdale Osborne Healthcare Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. During an investigation, police determined the homeowner shot himself with a small caliber pistol while investigating noises in his backyard.

idiots with guns
At least he didn’t shoot his wife/girlfriend, or a neighbor. Somehow I don’t think this is a person who should have a weapon.
uh, false reporting? can you blame him though? he probably doesn’t want the world to know he’s one of “those” who can’t handle his own gun…….wonder what that girlfriend of his thinks now, hey, girlfriend - now we ALL know he can’t handle his own gun! ! !
