Michael Smeriglio is 18 years old and made the wise decision to remove himself from the gene pool.

A teenager is recovering after police say he shot himself in the penis and testicle while cleaning a gun he just bought.

Police say 18-year-old Michael Smeriglio first lied to police saying someone shot him while he was walking down the street. After being questioned by police he admitted to accidentally doing it himself.

Doctors say the bullet went through his penis, his left testicle and then lodged itself in his thigh.

Yoweeee.

Needless to say, Michael did not pay close attention in physics class when he tried to tell police that someone shot him at point blank range with a downward trajectory and left powder burns on his hands.

Now comes the shocker.  When police went to the house where “the shooting” occurred, they found marijuana.

Dude.

Thanks to Howard for the heads up.
