Man Trying To Get Rid Of Wasps Shoots Boy In Leg
Investigators: Bullet Strays Into Bedroom Where Boy Was Sleeping
PASADENA, Texas -- A man who blasted a wasp's nest with a 12-gauge shotgun was jailed after an errant pellet injured a 5-year-old boy in a nearby apartment, police said.
Romeo Gonzalez, 18, was charged with deadly conduct and is being held in the Harris County Jail.
Pasadena Police Sgt. J.M. Baird said Gonzalez fired the gun to break up a wasp's nest hanging from a tree outside his second-floor apartment in the 3600 block of Shaver shortly after midnight Wednesday. The pellet entered a first-floor apartment and struck David Marban in the thigh.
The boy was hospitalized but is expected to recover.
Did he get the wasps?
Its easier to wait until dark and then spray them from 20 feet with RAID Hornet and Wasp Killer.
Instead of gun control, let's implement IQ control. Ban anyone who scores in the single digits.
Bet that stings ....
Also the reporter is a moron. Shotguns don't shoot Bullets.
Probably not.
Probably blew hell out of their nest and made 'em mad.
AND hurt the little boy.
Idiot.
Tequila.
Mr. Gonzalez was quoted as saying "Sostenga mi cerveza y mire esto"
Less dangerous, too.
Raise that to double digits, thank you.
That must have been one big wasp.
I always use a shotgun to kill wasps. I want to make those suckers suffer so I try to hit them in the legs with the little pellets. Then when they are trying to get away I stand over them and scream at them, "get ready to meet your maker!" Then I grind them into the ground with my cowboy boots.
Stinkadena loses another intellectual...
Well, he was dead, but he got better. If I ever get shot, I want that kid's doctor!
You don't use a shotgun on wasps...
You use a nail gun! :)
LOL!
Note to men: Whatever it is you're about to do when you say, "Honey, mire esto!" DON'T do it.
My moma always told me to just leave the wasps alone and they will leave me alone. Guess his moma didn't tell him that.
