Humble, Texas is just up the road from me and just a bit north of Houston.

They really know how to have birthday parties in Humble.

A Texas girl’s Sweet 16 birthday party over the weekend was soured by her father accidentally shooting himself while playing with a loaded gun.

According to investigators, the father was spinning a gun on his finger when the firearm went off, shooting the man in the stomach during his daughter’s 16th birthday celebration.

So here he is, playing Roy Rogers to impress the kiddos at his daughter’s party, probably while flipping burgers on his barbecue pit that he set up in the driveway when wham! that pistol just up and shot him.

I mean, that there is some dandy party entertainment. It beats the hell outta one of those bounce houses. Years from now those kids will be saying, “Remember that time your Dad bled all over the driveway, flopping around like a fish and hollering cuss words? That was cool.”

Hey, I was right about the barbecue pit being in the driveway. That dude’s got two of them and boy howdy, might as well impress the neighbors instead of showing them off in the privacy of your backyard.

He was rushed to the hospital and his condition is currently unknown.

I wouldn’t worry, this guy would have to sober-up for a day or two to die.

Thanks to Charles for the heads up.
