If you've already seen it and rejected it I apologise, I did search several times and ways.

Non fatal but we assume none the less removed from the all important breeders club.

Long time friends David Walker and Stuart Simpson were drinking an a local pub near Sheffield UK. At some point during the night after an alleged 15 pints had been consumed each they appear to have lost track of who's round it was. A minor argument escalated into a bitter disagreement, we can only assume that years of friendship had given them enough time to gather some serious grudges (I'm postulating here because I can see no other explanation for what happened next). David decided that the only way to finally resolve their differences was to shoot his friend. He left the pub and returned home to fetch his shotgun.

Carrying a shotgun or any other type of firearm in the UK is a strict no no. David decided his best bet to avoid any suspicion was to secrete the weapon down one leg of his trousers which he duly did, butt first, and staggered back towards the pub. He never made it. Somewhere on his travels he managed to fall over and the loaded gun went off hitting him in the crotch. Presumably suffering now from drink, embarrassment, remorse and a serious wound in his nether regions David managed to crawl home again. His mother found him bleeding in the kitchen some time later.

The end of this story is unsurprising if harsh. David was found guilty last week (13/14 July 2004) of possessing an illegal firearm, under legislation only just enacted there is now a minimum of a five year jail term for this. It is likely that before this new legislation he would have been allowed to walk, hobble, free.

He is still suffering from a major injury and has shotgun pellets imbedded in his gentles. Doctors do not yet know if he will be able to have sex normally (barring any experiences in the jail) again let alone reproduce.

Many reports pre and post trial in the UK press. This is a link to the BBC court report.
