How best to describe my community:
A 66-year-old man shot himself in both his legs Saturday afternoon
while trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut with a 12-gauge shotgun.
Deputies at the scene reported the man blasted "double-ought" buckshot at the wheel from "arm's length."
The deputies described the man's legs as "peppered" from his feet to
his mid-abdomen with pellets, pieces of the wheel and other debris.
Some injuries went as far up as his chin.
The man had been repairing the Lincoln Continental for two weeks,
and had removed all the lug nuts on the right rear wheel except for one. (Kitsap Sun)
If the wheel being attached to the hub is any indication, the lug nut has yet to budge, weeks later.
