LONDON (Reuters) - A British man who accidentally shot
himself in the testicles after drinking 15 pints of
beer was jailed for five years on Tuesday for
possessing an illegal firearm, a court spokesman said.
David Walker, 28, was arguing with a friend at a pub
in South Yorkshire, northern England, when he went
home to get his sawed-off shotgun, which he jammed
into his trousers.
But as he walked back to the pub, the gun went off,
blasting pellets into his testicles. Doctors later
removed what remained of his testicles during
emergency surgery.
Walker admitted possessing a prohibited weapon at a
hearing in June at the court in Sheffield.
