American paralyzed dodging bulls in Pamplona
A New Yorker was paralyzed below the waist while dodging young bulls with other revelers in the bullring at Spain's San Fermin Festival in Pamplona on Friday, festival organizers said.
The 31-year-old, named by hospital authorities as Ray Ducharn, was undergoing surgery after being taken to intensive care after he was hurt while trying to escape when the animals were released in Pamplona's bullring following the famous running of the bulls through the town's streets.
It was unclear exactly how Ducharn was injured but he did not appear to have been gored, organizers said.
Lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas. Run with bulls, end up crippled. Duh. Here's number two. Should have titled it "Hey ya'll...watch this!!!"
Man Shoots Himself with Handgun While Celebrating Fourth of July
A man celebrating the Fourth of July in St. Petersburg fatally shot himself while playing with a handgun.
Police say Casey Neal was drinking during a cookout at his house early Wednesday when he pointed the semiautomatic handgun at his head and told friends he would pull the trigger after counting down from five.
Police say it appears to be an accident.(Police were kind enough not to say he's a f**kin idiot.) Other Fourth of July incidents in the area were less serious. Authorities say another man in St. Petersburg was hospitalized after being struck in the face by fireworks. In Tampa, a woman and a six-year-old were treated at hospitals after being burned by sparklers in separate incidents.
