Today's Idiot Redeux

Man using shotgun on stubborn lug nut injured
today's idiot?
Today's idiot.
A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut blasted the wheel with a shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs, sheriff's deputies said.
"gol' dammit, come loose, yoo sumbitch!"
The 66-year-old man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks at his home northwest of Southworth, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) southwest of Seattle, and had gotten all but one of the lug nuts off the right rear wheel by Saturday afternoon, Deputy Scott Wilson said.

"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," Wilson said.
now he's bound, bandaged, and determined..
From about arm's length, the man fired the shotgun at the wheel and was "peppered" in both legs with buckshot and debris, with some injuries as high as his chin, according to a sheriff's office report. "Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said.
uh huh
The man was taken to Tacoma General Hospital with injuries Wilson described as severe but not life-threatening.
