[Emirates 24/7] A suburban Phoenix man is recovering after police say he accidentally shot himself in the penis while putting his girlfriend's gun in the waistband of his pants."Honey, will you hold my gun?"
"Sure, baby! [KERPOW!]"
Chandler police say 27-year-old Joshua Seto and his fiancée, Cara Christopher, were walking toward a grocery store when the shooting happened last week. The gun fired, striking Seto's penis
"Aaaiiieee! My doinker!"
and continuing through his left thigh.
"Ow! My thigh!"
The Arizona Republic reports a 911 operator told Christopher to apply direct pressure to the wound with a dry towel
"I'm inna parking lot! I ain't got no towel!"
or T-shirt.
"Okay. I got one of those..."
Chandler Police Detective Seth Tyler was unsure of the type of gun, or whether it had a safety that was off.
Important safety tip: If you're gonna point your gun anywhere in the general direction of anybody's pee-pee always make sure the safety's on...
He also says it's unclear if Seto has been released from the hospital or suffered any permanent damage.
"Well? Does it still work?"
"It works better! I can pee with it in three directions at once now. The rest... I'll have to let you know..."
In the wake of the shooting, Tyler warned residents to use holsters, not waistbands, if they're going to carry a handgun.
And try and remain somewhat sober.
