Man accidentally shoots own penis, dies

MANILA, Philippines—A truck driver died after he accidentally shot off his penis in Rosales, Pangasinan, police said Friday.

Geronimo Narciso, 37, was drinking with friends inside the compound of Tagumpay Lumber and Construction Supply when he brought out his gun and fired it twice downwards, Senior Inspector Ryan Manongdo, Pangasinan police spokesman, said.

His drinking buddies, Arnel Nacino and Edwin Alcera, asked him to stop firing his homemade gun, Manongdo said.

Narciso heeded their request and was tucking his gun to his waist when it went off, hitting his genitals. His friends rushed him to Dr. Chan Memorial Hospital in Carmen town but was declared dead on arrival.

Committing two acts, either of which, by itself, would have earned him a standard Darwin Award.

be coming in contact with on a daily basis. It's a tragedy that he was killed, but I'm glad nobody else had to die as a result of his irresponsible behavior.

That's a Darwin triple by any standard...


And it was a semi-auto by the description. He did us all a favor removing himself from the gene pool.
