FORT WORTH — A Fort Worth man trying to scratch an itch on his back used a revolver and accidentally shot himself.

Jorge Espinal, 44, was drinking beer and playing poker around 3 a.m. Sunday morning in his home in the 3500 block of Montague Street, when he got up from the table and walked into another room, said Fort Worth police Lt. Kenneth Dean.

“He told officers he had an itch on his back and grabbed the first thing he could get a hold of, which was a revolver,†Lt. Dean said. “The gun went off."

Espinal went back and told his buddies that he shot himself. “They didn’t believe him until they saw the blood coming down his back,†Lt. Dean said.

Espinal was taken to an area hospital where he was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries.

You can't fix stupid... but thankfully, it usually fixes itself. This guy couldn't even get that right though. At least he'll get another opportunity.

Edit: I have made a couple posts invisible temporarily, for (probably) obvious reasons... thanks for your patience.

Edit: The removal of the posts is no longer temporary.

One surprise and one non-surprise in this story. The surprise is that he used a revolver. The non-surprise is that beer was involved.
