Gangbanger Accidentally Shoots Himself in the Nuts, Blames Ninjas

Police in Chicago say a teenager with gang ties tried to blame a self-inflicted gunshot to the groin on a pair of ninjas before eventually coming clean. The unnamed 17-year-old was brought to Loyola Hospital in Maywood with a "left groin" injury that appeared to be self-inflicted.

But police officers who were called to the hospital by staff were told by the teen that two men dressed in ninja garb were to blame..................

After a scan of the crime scene, a review of surveillance footage, and a number of interviews with potential eyewitnesses yielded no proof of ninja-related activity, police confronted the teen and eventually were told the truth.

It seems the kid was in his car with an unspecified number of "female friends" and was messing around with a gun when it accidentally discharged in his lap.

He shot himself in the groin. That's what the hospital said. Neither the hospital nor any respectable newspaper would have a problem saying he shot himself in the testicle. They'd just say that.

So, the Internet's deepest desire seems to be in vain here.

Everything else about his story rings completely true though.
