Kidnapper shoots own testicle

A would-be kidnapper shot his own testicle after tucking his gun into the waistband of his trousers.

It happened as three men were attempting to kidnap a teenager in a dispute over stereo speakers in Wichita, Kansas.

One of the three pulled out a gun, fired it at the teen and missed, reports the Wichita Eagle.

The gunman jammed the pistol back into the waistband of his pants - and it went off, hitting him in the left testicle.

The 23-year-old man's reaction to his injury caused the gun to fire again, hitting himself in the left calf.

The man was arrested after he walked into a medical centre seeking help. His companions, ages 18 and 20, were also arrested.
