LAFAYETTE, Colo. -- A 17-year-old girl who was not familiar with firearms accidentally shot her boyfriend while the two were hunting raccoons at a Boulder County farmhouse Monday night.
The sheriff's office said the incident was reported at about 9:30 p.m. in the 2300 block of North 95th Street, north of the Lafayette city limits.
They found Josh Kayser, 21, wounded in the right ear and left forearm by a .22-caliber rifle man's girlfriend was holding for him. Kayser told investigators that he was crouched down, peering under a shed, looking for a wounded raccoon while his girlfriend was crouched down behind him with the loaded rifle when it accidentally discharged.
The girlfriend, who was not identified because she is a juvenile, told investigators that she did not intend to fire the weapon and had never held a weapon before.
Kayser was rushed to Avista Hospital in Louisville for treatment of his injuries and was listed in good condition on Tuesday.
No charges were expected to be filed in the case.
I guess we can forgive the delay...but we'll need to be kept informed about all of the details about this man's medical condition, all details...now about that domestic spying...
He is truly one of the funniest storytellers of all time. His elaboration of his stories makes them fun to read and makes this book move quickly until the end. Most of his stories and anecdotes make fun of people. The characters in these tales are mainly his family and close friends. Almost every narrative he tells relates to someone in his hometown. These tales range from coon hunting, to school, to shopping, and even to church. Most stories revolve around his best friend Marcel Ledbetter.
My name is John so my nights of coon hunting were filled with shouts of "Knock im out John"
I used to have his concert tapes.
"A 17-year-old girl who was not familiar with firearms accidentally shot her boyfriend while the two were hunting raccoons at a Boulder County farmhouse Monday night."
Yep, that's the ticket. Take her coon hunting at a farmhouse. Always worked for me, and it was usually her daddy with the gun.
National Lampoon's True Facts once had the story of a man who accidentally shot his mother-in-law after mistaking her for
"a giant raccoon".
I've listened to a number of his tapes. Funny as can be!!
