Unfortunate Accident

Ryan & I got a good chortle out of this small news item, tucked away on the back page of the HJ.

Glendale, OK. (AP)
"Leflore County authorities are investigating the death of a deer hunter who was found dead in a tree stand near Glendale in southeastern Oklahoma. Undersherrif (?) Donnie Edwards told KHOG -TV that initially police thought the 46-year-old man, who was discovered on Saturday, may have died from natural causes. But Edwards says the state Medical Examiner's Office determined that the man had a gunshot wound below his waist, and the bullet lodged in his neck. Edwards says it appears the man dropped his gun and it fired up at him. The gun was found at the base of the tree."

And all this time I thought "shooting yourself in the*#!@" was just an expression.
