Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office investigators arrested a Metairie man accused of accidentally shooting his girlfriend while cleaning his shotgun after a few drinks.
Rashaud Joseph, 21, of 2301 Severn Ave., Metairie, was booked with illegal use of a weapon and negligent injuring, according to an arrest report.
The inadvertent injury occurred during the early morning hours of Sunday (May 7). Joseph told investigators he returned home after drinking and decided to clean his 12-gauge shotgun, the report said.
As he took the weapon into the restroom, he was noticed by his 20-year-old girlfriend, according to Lt. Jason Rivarde, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.
The woman entered the bathroom and tried to take the shotgun from Joseph, grabbing the barrel with both hands. That's when the shotgun discharged, injuring the woman on her right hand, the report said.
The projectile from the gun entered the apartment next door and damaged a bathtub, the report said. Though someone was home, no one was injured in the neighboring apartment.
The woman sought treatment at Tulane Lakeside Hospital in Metairie where staffers stitched and bandaged the wound, according to the report. Deputies took Joseph into custody at the hospital, according to the report.
He was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center and released Monday on a $10,500 bond.

Twice a day, sometimes 3 times.

Av8nShooterIt's a good idea to unload and safety check all your weapons before going out to drink at the bar. That way, when you return late at night with the uncontrollable urge to clean them, you don't need to take all that time to check to see if they are loaded ... when you are loaded.

cas(Guilty of having dissasembled many firearms in the bathroom. And I don't mean just basic field striping them either.)
But like most of them, that story is bullshit.

Of course it was.
"Went off while cleaning" has come to be the euphemism for everything from suicide to attempted murder.

Sig2340In a home, is the space given over to the bathtub, commode, and sink a "restroom" or is it a "bathroom"? Residences are not advertised as having 2½ restrooms, the ad would say "2½ baths."
I would think the "restroom" in a residence would be where the recliner or sofa was located, since those are used for resting, and the "bedroom" name is taken for the room where the bed is located.
As for some drunken orangutan discharging a shotgun in any room that is a negligent discharge.

Oat_Action_ManI have, in fact, cleaned guns in the bathroom before. When you live in an apartment, it's often the best place to do so.

No, butt (pun intended) the long tube thingy which comes the hemorrhoid cream would be extra full most likely.

Zero rocket scientists in this story.
Glad/amazed there weren't fatalities.
