A female passenger in an SUV was shot in the jaw Sunday when a gun inside the vehicle discharged accidentally. According to Miami’s Channel 10 News, the woman was part of a group of people on their way to a shooting range.

The Florida Highway Patrol said that the incident took place on the Dolphin Expressway near Northwest 12th Avenue in Miami. No charges were filed.

The injured passenger was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital. She is expected to recover.




Drunk Florida man admits shooting up public docks and then poops pants

The Orlando man verified that he had been drinking and firing weapons, and gave the officer permission to search the trunk of his car for a .45 caliber black powder pistol and a .40 caliber Glock pistol. Johnston explained that he had consumed at least eight alcoholic beverages, but said that the two cans of Colt 45 had been “too many apparently!”

“I am impaired,” the suspect reportedly said.

“Johnston was swaying while I was speaking to him due to his intoxication and defecated in his pants, which he admitted was from his intoxication,” the deputy wrote.

****

“The dock shit is my shit!” Johnston said, referring to the bullet holes, not the poop in his pants.
