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 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."

Mr. 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.

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

A guy with a name like eSpinal shoots himself in the back. What are the odds?

He'd have to be runner up, because he didn't succeed in killing himself, fortunately they do have a special category for such entries.

Poor guy must have had an itchy trigger finger. I just wonder if he got the itch or not.
