NEW HAVEN — A teenager has been arrested as the alleged gunman in a city man’s scheme to avoid being drafted by having himself shot in the leg.

Police arrested Alex Lowery, 17, whose last known address was 140 Hallock Ave., late Thursday on a warrant charging him with first-degree assault and weapons counts in connection with a June 24 shooting in the Hill.

I have an 18 year old intern who is freaked out by the draft too. He and his buddies talk about it all the time he told me.

This one took it just a tad too far IMO. ;)

Lots of places we could take this story.

1. A head shot would have been more effective.

2. does the Dawin award allow runners up?

3. Chalk one up for the gun control team.

17, a boy? 8 or 9 year olds are boys. And if he is just "a boy" he is either an extremely stupid boy or an extremely cowardly one.

Or both.

If I may make a small correction..it should be "A STUPID boy coward will one day be a STUPID adult coward."..Thank you.

We seriously need to create a set of awards for those extremely stupid people who try to become a Darwin award winner, but unfortunately fall short of doing so.

Later, when police confronted Zambrano about the developments, the victim admitted that he paid someone to shoot him in the leg to avoid being drafted into military service in Iraq, according to an arrest warrant affidavit

If someone wrote about this in a fiction story, people would say "no one is that stupid".
Real life never ceases to amaze.

Actually, the shooter was the 17 year old.

The man who was shot was 20. Too old to be a stupid kid =;-)

The "boy" who wanted to be shot (and was) is 20 years old. I didn't consider myself a boy at that age.

Just damn.

This is a result of stupidity and the Dem's fear mongering "those eeee-vil Republicans are bringing back the draft" campaign.

How'd you like to have a drafted guy like this covering your back?

"I have an 18 year old intern who is freaked out by the draft too."

I hope he's not as freaked out as this guy. I mean, I think I worry about things that may never happen, I'm just a rank amateur compared to this fellow. And what about the guy who shot him?

I blame Charles Rangel, he's the one that started all this re-instate the draft stuff. Admitedly he wants to "draft the rich", but it looks like he's just managed to get the working class in a tizzy.

Howard J. Turkster: "I joined the army 'cause my father and brother were in the army. I though I'd better join before I got drafted."

Sgt. Hulka: "Son, uh, there ain't no draft no more."

Howard J. Turkster: "There was one?"
