Police say a guy shot himself in the leg while trying to make a necklace out of a bullet on Valentine’s Day.
Durham Regional Police responded just after 5 p.m. Tuesday, after a man allegedly “shot” himself in the leg while attempting to “pull apart” a bullet with vice grips.
The gunpowder inside the bullet caused it to explode and hit the man’s thigh, while several bullet casing fragments also struck his leg.
Police said the man was trying to make a necklace with the bullet and didn’t realize the explosion could happen.
“If you go do some research on what’s in a bullet, it’s not something you want to make a necklace out of,” police spokesman Dave Selby said.
The unidentified man was taken to hospital and surgery was performed to remove the bullet and casing fragments from his leg. No charges were laid and the bullet was lawfully owned.
