LONDON – 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.Tests were continuing to learn if Walker would be left infertile, his lawyer Gulzar Syed said.”He still feels quite severe pain,” Syed added, saying that some pellets were still lodged in Walker’s groin area.- Nampa-ReutersBut 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.Tests were continuing to learn if Walker would be left infertile, his lawyer Gulzar Syed said.”He still feels quite severe pain,” Syed added, saying that some pellets were still lodged in Walker’s groin area.- Nampa-Reuters
