A man accidentally shot himself in the testicles at Lowe's Home Improvement store in Lynnwood Sunday afternoon, police said.

The man's handgun, which was in the waistband of his pants, went off at about 12:30 p.m. — an apparent "accidental discharge," according to Shannon Sessions, a Lynnwood police spokeswoman.

"It made a loud noise and scared a lot of people in the store," Sessions said. "I believe he shot himself in the testicles and he also had some injuries to his leg and foot. He was obviously in shock."

Nobody else was hurt and no one appeared to be with the man, she said.

Police and fire responded, and the man was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle before police had a chance to interview him extensively. Sessions had no further details about the man.

Lynnwood police are continuing to investigate but "at this point it does look like it's accidental," Sessions said. A manager at Lowe's said store personnel are not commenting on the incident.
"I'm a foolish old man that has been drawn into a wild goose chase by a harpy in trousers and a nincompoop."

Dunno.  Depends on just how much he managed to shoot.  If we're lucky, he's one of those (rare) living Darwin Award winners.

Depending on what he carried and exactly how it was positioned, it's not far-fetched to imagine that what wasn't blown away by the bullet might've been taken by the muzzle blast.

That would be an honorable mention winner.

Skin grafts FTW. Or maybe he can get a sex change with what's left.

There's still the problem of having no balls, skin graft or not. Unless they picked them (whatever was left of them) up and decided it was worth to try to re-attach them :P.

Not if you destroy your reproductive capabilities (and presumably have not already reproduced)

No, the honorable mentions are for those who do really stupid acts and yet survives with their reproductive capabilites intact. Those eligible for the award are those who snuff themselves in an extremely stupid (and funny) way, or manages to sterilize themselves in some way or another. So this guy might qualify, depending on the outcome of the injury.

I like how the article doesn't say "scrotum" or "testicle" but "testicles."

The funny thing is that the Lowe's store mentioned in the story is about seven miles from my house, and I have been there countless times.
