SOUTHWORTH, Wash. - A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs, sheriff's deputies said.
The 66-year-old man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks at his home northwest of Southworth, about 10 miles southwest of Seattle, and had gotten all but one of the lug nuts off the right rear wheel by Saturday afternoon, Kitsap County Deputy Scott Wilson said.
"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," Wilson said.
From about arm's length, the man fired the shotgun at the wheel and was "peppered" in both legs with buckshot and debris, with some injuries as high as his chin, according to a sheriff's office report.
"Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said.
The man was taken to Tacoma General Hospital with injuries Wilson described as severe but not life-threatening.
You really have to wonder what the hell some people are thinking when they do stuff like this.

Santana friggin' rules.
End of message.
A combination of Marilyn Manson covers and Motown funk.
*shrug* :)
What? The...Fuck? ... I cant.
"Oye Como Va" by Santana - that and the Spoonful.
A big hammer and a cold chisel would have probably done better..did the blast get the lug nut off?
I can only assume that someone who thinks that was a good idea was really NOT using his head!
I have a new Santana song in my playlist right now - "Into the Night" with Chad Kroeger.
