A Colombian man accidentally shot his nephew to death while trying to cure his hiccups by pointing a revolver at him to scare him, police in the Caribbean port city of Barranquilla said on Tuesday.
After shooting 21-year-old university student David Galvan in the neck, his uncle, Rafael Vargas, 35, was so distraught he turned the gun on himself and committed suicide, police said.
The incident took place on Sunday night while the two were having drinks with neighbors.
Oops.
I like that it was happening in the middle of a little soiree. Nothing ruins a good tea party like bits of blood and brain in the mojitos.
been therekind of; a few summers ago, i was thrown out of a bar for making a scene when i began punching myself in the face due to how frustrated i was over the fact that i couldn’t shake my hiccups for over 20 minutes (PS: i was wasted)
classic…mmmmmm….Mo-Ji-tos……
most sure-fire cure I’ve ever seenI mean, sure, they both died and all, but the hiccups were cured. And anyway, it beats cancer, as deaths go.
