ROME - In an attempt to get his ex-girlfriend to feel sorry for him, a Sicily man asked a friend to shoot him in the groin. Police in the city of Piazza Armerina sensed something fishy when the 27-year-old went to the hospital with wounds from a hunting rifle's pellets in his crotch. He said that the wounds were a result of a hunting accident, but later admitted he had asked his friend, 16, to shoot him in an attempt to win back his girlfriend, who had left him because of his violent character. The man's wounds are expected to heal. Police charged the man, and the 16-year-old, in connection with the shooting. Reports reveal that the man's ex-girlfriend made it clear she never wanted to see him again.
