Self-Shot Gun Buyer Arrested | Tampa News

A man already on bond for serious crimes like robbery ends up arrested after shooting himself in the leg while trying to buy a gun. Police say he’s a known gang member who shouldn’t have access to firearms. Initially claiming an acquaintance shot him, his story crumbles when witnesses say no robbery occurred—and one even heard him yell, “I shot myself.” Forensic evidence? A bullet lodged behind his knee and a hole in his underwear (not pants) suggests the gun fired downward while still inside his pants. He eventually confesses: he pulled the trigger during the gun purchase. Now, with no bond and locked up in Pinellas County Jail, this is one wild case that proves chaos can strike in the most unexpected ways.
