COLTON: Man tucks gun in waistband,

2014 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A Colton man who appears to have tucked a gun into his waistband accidentally shot himself in the genitals, a police official said.

Jeffrey Cordova, a Colton resident, showed up at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center at about 7:46 p.m. Saturday, March 15, with a gunshot wound to the groin, states a Colton police activity log entry.

Cordova was wanted on suspicion of parole violation stemming from an assault with a deadly weapon conviction and illegal firearm possession charges are being investigated, said Colton police Detective Ray Mendez.

Cordova refused to cooperate with investigators, but an examination of the man’s clothing revealed the bullet came from inside his pants, the detective said.

“It appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot,” he said. “Evidence suggests he put the gun in his waistband.”

Cordova was admitted to surgery and was expected to survive, Mendez said.

Definitely Toss: Too Common
Thanks, Mark, but stories involving firearms are extremely commonplace. You'll find lots of stories in the archives virtually identical to this one along with all sorts of other stories involving idiocy with guns & rifles.
