Police are said to be skeptical of a Milwaukee man’s claims that he was horsing around when he was shot in the groin by his mother while wearing a ski mask.
According to the Journal Sentinel The 21-year-old man’s criminal record for drug and weapon offenses has investigators questioning his credibility. While he may or may not have really been trying to rob his 37-year-old mother, there was no questioning the authenticity of the .357 magnum that she shot him with when she returned from shopping at 9 p.m..
The woman is said to have fired several shots, two of which struck home, leaving her son with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
The son is currently receiving treatment for his injuries, while the mother is in custody at the Milwaukee County Jail, pending a review of the case by the District Attorney. While the shooting might have been justifiable, having a gun with an obliterated serial number is usually not.
