SALISBURY, N.C. (WBTV) - A Salisbury man told police that he thought he had been shot in the behind by a Roman candle. It turns out he was shot with a gun and there was a bullet lodged in his buttocks.
According to the police report, the 53-year-old man said that he was at the Sports Complex on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Avenue on Friday at approximately 1:00 a.m. He said that some boys were there shooting fireworks. The man said he felt something hit his left buttock, but “didn’t think much about it.”
The next morning when he woke up, the man said he was bleeding, but still “didn’t think too much about it.” Later he noticed a lump in his groin area. He said that he felt some pain, but that it “was tolerable.” Family members encouraged him to go to the hospital where it was determined that he had been shot and that the bullet was still in his body.

… the 53-year-old man said that he was at the Sports Complex on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Avenue.'Nuff said. Read no more.
When I bought my last Christmas tree, the clerk asked if I was going to put it up myself. I said “No, I think the living room would be more appropriate”.
Roman candle my ass.
Damn! This guy must have ‘tocks made of steel, to not know something was seriously wrong.
“Was that a bullet I just felt, or was the ‘wrong person’ just glad to see me?” He was heard to ask out loud.//
Appears more Greek?
All this tells me is that the guy was used to having a Roman candle up his but-tocks.
Ballistic gelatin...
“Million to one shot, doc!”
Nothing good happens...
My brother and I used to do battle with roman candles using garbage can lids for shields and WWII helmet liners for protection. Until Mom got wind of it....
Yep, 1:00 AM on MLK Jr Avenue makes this a dog bites man story.
So the guy was shot running away from the scene of an attempted car jacking, and would not report to hospital because it would result in a mandatory medical report of shooting to the police. After a few days the pain was too great so he makes up a roman candle story.
AND GETS AWAY WITH IT?
Unbelievable.
I feel somewhat mollified that the bullet is lodged just behind his left nut.
I hate home fireworks........A few years ago the local ABC meteorologist Dave Rexroth lost his eye due to being hit by a back yard fireworks.............
“shot on MLK avenue”
all you need to know
Exactly.
When I bought my last Christmas tree, the clerk asked if I was going to put it up myself. I said “No, I think the living room would be more appropriate”.

Not that we need to laugh about someone’s misfortunes or anything. But we will.
SO, thanks for posting. Not every day that a PITA gets a chuckle.
As they say, nothing good ever happens on Martin Luther King Jr. Street/Boulevard/Avenue...
