Police in New York state said they arrested a man accused of agreeing to do a favor for a friend and shoot him in the leg.

State Police said Shawn Mossow, 25, of Norfolk allegedly shot a 24-year-old friend in the leg with a .22-caliber rifle Sunday in Stockholm because the other man was curious about what it would feel like and asked him to take the shot, the Potsdam, N.Y., publication North County This Week reported Tuesday.

The victim was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and is expected to fully recover.

Mossow was charged with felony first-degree reckless endangerment and jailed in lieu of $10,000 cash bail. (UPI)

친구한테 ‘나 총으로 쏴주라’, 도대체 왜?!

미국에서 20대 청년이 ‘총에 맞으면 어떨지 궁금하다’며 친구에게 자신을 쏴달라고 부탁했다가 부상을 당하는 황당한 사건이 발생했다.

뉴욕 주 스톡홀름 마을의 경찰은 24세 남성의 부탁을 받고 그를 소총으로 쏜 숀 모소우(25)를 구속했다고 15일(현지시간) 밝혔다.

‘피해자’는 현재 총상을 치료받았으며 완치될 것으로 보인다.

모소우는 1급 위협 혐의를 받았으며, 1만달러(한화 약 1천1백5십8만원)의 보석금을 선고받고 수감되었다.
