WICHITA, Kan. Wichita police say a woman is recovering after being injured in a strange shooting.

Police say the 19-year-old was shot in the chest Monday when her boyfriend began taking off his shorts as they walked along a city street.

Lt. Randy Reynolds say a gun the 18-year-old boyfriend was carrying in waistband fell to the ground and fired, hitting the woman.

Reynolds says the Wichita man first told police a car had driven by and fired shots at the couple, but later changed his story.

The man was arrested. Police did not say why he was taking off his shorts on a city street.

Uh, no photos of the people involved...I guess it was those angry, Anglo TEA Partiers, or maybe it was Rand Paul and Sarah Palin sharing a walk...

I’ve got a Raven .25 in my desk drawer too.

One of these days I might try to use it as a trade in when I buy something else.

S&A, I don’t know what’s funnier.

“This has never happened to me before...”

or

“Police say they don’t know why he was taking his pants off on a city street.”

Endowed with such a prodigious gun, he probably doesn't need to pack a pistol. Does he goes to Halloween parties as a gas pump?

A bit premature. Must have had a hair trigger response.

His girlfriend had just told him “don’t go off half cocked”

Lots of revolvers made 60 years ago or longer were not safe to carry wih a round under the hammer. Had a .44 magnum Sauer and Sohn, made in W. Germany that was that way. Old style were dangerous.
