Man uses gun for backscratcher, shoots himself

A Fort Worth man trying to scratch an itch on his back used a revolver and accidentally shot himself.

Jorge Espinal, 44, was drinking beer and playing poker around 3 a.m. Sunday in his home in the 3500 block of Montague Street, when he got up from the table and walked into another room, said Fort Worth police Lt. Kenneth Dean.

“He told officers he had an itch on his back and grabbed the first thing he could get a hold of, which was a revolver,” Lt. Dean said. “The gun went off."

Mr. Espinal went back and told his buddies that he shot himself. “They didn’t believe him until they saw the blood coming down his back,” Lt. Dean said.

Mr. Espinal was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries.

I hate the banner that has perez looking slim…the one with the black sideburns. I'm sure he's never looked like that. I love his site because he's so funny. But I can't stand seeing him on tv or in magazines.

What is it about North America and gun? Why are we so stupid?! I realize it's natural selction but seriously, it makes us look like backwoods hicks. No wonder the rest of the world has such a negative perception of us.

34

Yeah he's an idiot….but a gun in a Texas home is far from unusual. The true Texans pride themselves on hunting and football. If y'all haven't been to Texas (especially Fort Worth) you can't pass judgment. FYI- www.fortworth.com

Texas is the biggest shithole I've ever had the displeasure of visiting and everyone is morbidly obese and speak like illiterate monkeys. Texas also has a collective IQ of 3.

Re: jack –
Jack, you must be from Texas, thus proving my point.

But did he get the itch? Calamine lotion works much better.
How to sacrifice the body, dude.

Re: Nanilae – The real question is why did he have a loaded gun lying around his house? I hope this man doesn't have children.

No, really! Mr. Espinal made a really good decision when he shot his own ass. Because after that, the itching he had complained of earlier was no longer a problem. No siree that itch no longer needed to be scratched.
