Oops! Robber Shoots Himself During Holdup

(AP)  Kokomo police say a man accidentally shot himself in the groin as he was robbing a convenience store.

A clerk told police a man carrying a semiautomatic handgun entered the Village Pantry Tuesday morning demanding cash and a pack of cigarettes. The clerk put the cash in a bag and as she turned to get the cigarettes, she heard the gun discharge.

Police say surveillance video shows the man shooting himself as he placed the gun in the waistband of his pants. The clerk wasn't injured.

A short time later, police found 25-year-old Derrick Kosch at a home with a gunshot wound to his right testicle and lower left leg. He was expected to have surgery at a hospital.

Police plan to charge him with armed robbery.

That''s the funniest thing I''ve heard of in a long time. There is some justice in the world.

Maybe Indiana should pass a law that says anyone caught robbing a convenient store with a gun should be required to shoot themselves in the right testicle! Then, let''s see if the number of robberies goes down.

This story was in the "Strange" news section. That is where you usually see these stories. The problem is you can never commment on them in that section. I wonder why?

His robbery career would appear to be over, since it really takes a pair to be successful.
