Cops Charge Man Over Self-inflicted Groin Shot

A Breckenridge, Colorado man found himself on the wrong side of authorities after he allegedly tried to defend himself from a mugger, with a firearm… whilst under the influence of alcohol.

David Leroy Blurton claimed that he pulled out his gun and fired after he was hit on the back of the head in a grocery store parking lot – a claim that investigators were not able to substantiate. Unfortunately for Blurton, what happened as he tried to pull out his gun is irrefutable; it discharged into his groin.

To add insult to very painful injury, The Associated Press reports that he was charged with and subsequently found guilty of illegal discharge of a firearm, drunk with a gun, prohibited use of a weapon and reckless endangerment. [Image]
