The relevant part of an incident report we obtained from the Bibb County sheriff's office is reproduced below, but the gist is that the police were called to a hospital to investigate a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A 23-year-old gun enthusiast was, it turns, for some reason holstering a semi-automatic pistol while parked at a gas station, and managed to shoot himself. He drove to a friend's house (!), took off his pants, and "saw that he had shot himself in the penis and that the bullet exited out his buttocks," after which he was driven to the emergency room. Hospital police called the sheriff's office, resulting in this wonderful narrative.
