Man ticketed after shooting self
A 27-year-old Lincoln man accidentally shot himself with a .357 caliber revolver he had in a holster attached to the waistband of his pants, Lincoln Police Officer Katherine Finnell said Thursday. Police ticketed Stephen Fitts for discharging a weapon in the city. He was treated at Bryan LGH Medical Center West for injuries caused by the bullet that went in-and-out of his left hip and into a couch. He told police he was sitting on the couch at a friends house when the trigger of the revolver caught on something, perhaps his jacket, and fired. He looked at the couch, according to police reports and saw what looked like pizza. Then reports said, he realized it was his backside “he had blown apart.â€
