Police: Michael Smeriglio accidentally shoots off his penis and testicle; friend arrested on drug charge | wtsp.com
A man purchased a gun a month ago. He took it home and eventually decided to clean the gun. He then accidentally shot himself in the penis and testicle. One of the first rules of firearms safety is to treat all guns as if they are always loaded. That means you need to only point it in a safe direction, which is another one of the basic rules.
The police responded and he told them a lie; he said he was a shooting victim. The police investigated further and eventually determined that he was lying and they learned the truth about the incident. This is an important reminder to officers, always take the victim statement and compare what he says to the physical evidence. Victims often lie about the circumstances to save embarrassment, defraud their insurance company or otherwise hide or distort their stories. Sometimes they simply forget or unintentionally confuse the story.
During the investigation the responding officers kept their eyes open. They were where they were lawfully permitted to be. They saw that the roommate of the suspect had drugs in his home. As a result they were able to arrest the roommate. The officers in this case did a very good job; that's what the SGT Says.
