A 24-year-old Omaha man who police say shot himself in the genitals was arrested on suspicion of several charges after he was treated at an Omaha hospital.
Brandon Boyce arrived at Creighton University Medical Center about 4:30 p.m. Monday for treatment of the wound. He told doctors and police that he had been shot by someone else.
Investigators later determined that Boyce accidentally had shot himself when he pulled a handgun out of his waistband, Officer Jacob Bettin, a police spokesman, said Tuesday.
.
Boyce was arrested on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon and possessing a controlled substance.
Boyce had been wounded in January of 2009 by Andre McKesson, owner of Midwest Grillz & Jewelry at 6209 Ames Ave.
Police said McKesson was defending himself after being shot at by two of Boyce's friends during an attempted robbery. Willie Wakefield, 29, and Marcel Davis, 16, were killed in the gunfight.
A 24-year-old Omaha man......
At first glance I saw “0bama man”......
Just a solid citizen exercising his 2nd Amendment rights.
Some people should just stick to double action revolvers.
Did he totally blow them off (I am a lady. I will not make obvious jokes!)? Has he reproduced yet? Perhaps he is in the running for the 2010 Darwin Award.
Probably.
A “hair” trigger?
I’d say it was the bullet.
Some critters shouldn’t be able to breed.
Boyce fixed that problem.
Poor Brandon. I bet he thought he was lookin tough when he went to pull that gun.
Question is: of the two brains that are posited to control male behavior, did the biggest one get wounded in this particular case?
Time out, I just shot my nut!!!!
The gun was and loaded and he’s half-cocked.
Should be arrested for illegal discharge of a firearm and nutshot stupidity due to meskin-carry. He probably blew his brain out.
LOL ... bflr — the comments are going to be great :-)
“Some critters shouldnt be able to breed.”
“Boyce fixed that problem.”
More like Smith & Wesson fixed that problem. ;-)
I am aware of an incident in which the ‘subject’ was observed making an apparent hand to hand narcotics transaction by PO’s.
They went to question him. When he saw the PO’s he ran. His ‘low rider’ pants fell to his ankles and he tripped, fell and hit the ground. When he hit the ground, the pistol in his waistband discharged. When the gun discharged it blew off some portion of his testes.
Once he gave his name he was found to be a convicted felon. He was then charged with distribution, evading arrest, and felon in possession of a firearm.
Some days it does not pay to get out of bed.
