Gangbanger Accidentally Shoots Himself in the Nuts, Blames Ninjas

[arikara]

Police in Chicago say a teenager with gang ties tried to blame a self-inflicted gunshot to the groin on a pair of ninjas before eventually coming clean.The unnamed 17-year-old was brought to Loyola Hospital in Maywood with a "left groin" injury that appeared to be self-inflicted.

But police officers who were called to the hospital by staff were told by the teen that two men dressed in ninja garb were to blame.

The teen said the men emerged from a black van in front of his car and shot him with a semi-automatic handgun.

Some of the comments are hilarious.

1. If I accidently shot myself in the scrotum

I would blame the TMNT. I know they don't use guns, but the cops don't!

2. Um..hello?

Ninjas don't live in Chicago.. And no, Naruto was not a real historic person, nor was He an American! ("Datte bayo!" is not a real Japanese word.)

4. This is an updated "I was just sitting on the stoop and 'two dudes' came up and...."

Ask any EMT person. Sooner rather than later they hear the "two dudes did it" explanation for all kinds of mayhem. But "two ninjas did it" beats "two dudes did it." hands down.

6. Aren't these stories told as a way to try to avoid implicating yourself in a crime.

8. Ah, the old "ninjas did it" excuse

Standard stuff, like blaming farts on the dog.
