A 66-year-old man shot himself in both his legs Saturday afternoon while trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut with a 12-gauge shotgun.

Kitsap County sheriff's deputies were called to the residence on the 10800 block of SE Olympiad Drive at 2:57 p.m. after the shooting was reported to 911 emergency dispatchers, said Deputy Scott Wilson, a sheriff's office spokesman.

"Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said.

South Kitsap Fire and Rescue medics treated the man at the scene. He was taken to Tacoma General Hospital. Wilson said his injuries were "severe but not life-threatening."

Deputies at the scene reported the man blasted "double-ought" buckshot at the wheel from "arm's length," Wilson said.

The deputies described the man's legs as "peppered" from his feet to his mid-abdomen with pellets, pieces of the wheel and other debris. Some injuries went as far up as his chin.

The man had been repairing the Lincoln Continental for two weeks, and had removed all the lug nuts on the right rear wheel except for one.

"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," Wilson said, who did not know how long the man had been trying to free the lug nut.

The deputies did not take a statement from the man beyond what they were able to gather while he was being treated by medics.

"I don't think he was in any condition to say anything," Wilson said. "The pain was so severe, and the shock."

Man that guy's a trip, A 12 gauge that will never work need at least a (B.A.R 50-CAL). I heard A storie on the radio one day on my way to work,two men where squirl hunting in A old chevy pickup when the truck broke down in the middle of noware,It had blown the ignition fuse,so having no new fuse one of them got the idea to put A 22CAL round in the fuse panal in place of the fuse.it worked an off they went a short time later the round got hot and fired hitting the driver (yep right in the nut's) he lost control went off the road and crashed but both lived.I would like to see mith busters try one of these.

mythbusters did do the 22shell in the fuse panel myth
If I remember right they figure it was plausible but very unlikely

just pull the casin apart shake all the powder out hammer the slug back in and drill a pin hole there ya go permanent fuses!

isnt this a re-run ?
