LEHIGH ACRES, FL - A 23-year-old man was taken to the hospital with multiple burn wounds after he accidentally shot himself in the genitals with a flare gun, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies responded to a home in Lehigh Acres Sunday in reference to a medical assistance call.

Upon arrival, 23-year-old Jorge Perez was found with multiple burn wounds and lacerations to his genital area.

Perez told deputies he was playing with a flare gun that was unloaded.

After dry firing the gun a few times, Perez says he then loaded the gun and put it down.

When he picked it up, Perez forgot the gun was loaded and fired it at the ground.

Perez told deputies the flare round struck the floor and ricocheted into his genital area.

Perez was taken to the hospital for his injuries.

We see things like this all too often on the dinner theater circuit. Some damn rookie trying out his Elvis impression doing his version of “Burning Love”

Lord almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
Its burning through to my soul

Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don’t know which way to go

....
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, Im flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke

....
Its coming closer
The flames are reaching my body
Please wont you help me
I feel like Im slipping away
Its hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving

Lord almighty,
Im burning a hole where I lay

I’m just a hunk, a hunk, a hunk of burning love,

Thank you, thank you

I’m a bit more of a Blue Oyster Cult fan so how about...

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I’m not the one to tell you what’s wrong or what’s right
I’ve seen suns that were freezin’ and lives that were through

Well I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning for you


Or maybe

Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes

Oh, let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll

;-)
