Skunk-hunter misses, and shoots himself in the head

WHILE attempting to scare off a skunk from a friend’s property, a MAN accidentally shot himself in the head.

From Sarasota, located south of Tampa in Florida, Daniel McDaniels, 31, placed the butt end of a .22 rifle on the ground as he loaded it with plans to shoot at the skunk he had spotted.

Unexpectedly, the firearm was already loaded, and McDaniels unintentionally pulled the trigger, causing the gun to discharge.

The bullet passed through the fingers of McDaniels’ right hand and then traveled through his left cheek.

Fortunately, the injury does not seem to be life-threatening, and police reported that no charges are expected.

Buford Balony says: I’ve seen it happen before. They say beer & guns don’t mix, but that’s nonsense; otherwise, this wouldn’t have taken place and been so amusing.
