I really wish that this didn't happen in my home state.  [rolleyes]  As you can imagine, the radio morning show jocks had a field day.

Woman charged in husband’s shooting

A Green Bay woman who shot her husband in the groin with a shotgun that she apparently thought was unloaded was charged Tuesday in the May 7 incident.

Susan Winkler, 44, will have a preliminary hearing May 31 on a felony charge of first-degree recklessly endangering safety. If convicted, she faces up to five years in prison.

Brian Winkler, 30, was listed in critical condition Tuesday at St. Vincent Hospital, Green Bay police said. Police have not been able to interview him because of his condition.

Green Bay police Lt. Bill Galvin said the charge resulted after an interview with Susan Winkler earlier this week.

A criminal complaint said rescuers found Winkler bleeding from a gunshot wound to the groin at 11:40 a.m. May 7 at their home in the 800 block of Howard Street. Winkler was wearing shoes and socks and his pants were down at his ankles.

When asked what happened, Susan Winkler told police, “All I can tell you is that it was an accident.”

She later told police about the incident and that they had done it previously without causing an injury.

She told authorities her husband had her put the shotgun barrel on his scrotum and pull the trigger. She repeated this numerous times on his orders.

During the May 7 incident, Susan Winkler’s girlfriend drove up in the driveway.

“Shoot ’em off before she gets up here,” he told his wife.

Susan Winkler said she didn’t remember the gun was loaded when she pulled the trigger and the gun fired, the complaint said.

Susan Winkler was released on a signature bond Tuesday and ordered to have no contact with Brian Winkler and possess no guns.

Let me get this straight....was his yoohoo [i]inside[/i] the barrel when it was fired??

The guy who wrote that article has the same last name as me. It's a rare name.

I don't think so.  The article states that he had it "on his scrotum."  Thus, I think he enjoyed having a barrel on his sack.  [%|]

Hilarious! 'Takes all kinds, I guess. Where in WI, Prebans?

City of Milwaukee.  But, not for long...  I've had enough of our tax rate, Chvala, Risser, and how they stopped our CCW.  [pissed]

Prebans, GB here. i feel the same about our tax situation. I think Chvala and the boys need to step aside on this one. Although, folks around here don't seem too upset with our "leaders". Go figure.

that's definately gonna leave a mark,
though it serves em right for playin with guns like that, be more careful from now on me thinks. [}:D]

"Never point a gun at anything you're not willing to destroy".

Apparently he was willing?

Sorry to butt in, but have some of you seen my BRC thread?

I think I would have lied.  

I would rather say I was cleaning it in the nude and it went off.  [:D]

Sometimes the truth need not be known.

Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the term bore snake...

Probably the last, best blow job he'll ever have.

If not the "best"..certainly the last, probably the FASTEST ever...What? Around 1300 FPS at the muzzle?

err...ouch...I seem to have lost my train of thought...
