| Mahmoud Shoots Self While Sleeping on Shoulder of Toll Road |
| 2010-12-22 |
| It wuz an accident, honest, ossifer... A 30-year old Michigan man shot himself Monday morning while napping in his car parked on the Ohio Turnpike. Troopers said it appears Mahmoud Ajaj of Dearborn, Mich., accidentally shot himself after falling asleep. Mahmoud was traveling with his wife, a 3 year old & a 7 month old. He parked on the shoulder of the road to take a nap, while holding a gun on his chest. "He said it was for protection in case someone tried to rob them," an OHP spokesman said. As Mahmoud slept, the gun discharged, the bullet going through his left thigh. He was later taken by ambulance to a Fremont hospital, then flown by medical helicopter to Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo, where he was treated & released. Charges have not been filed. How about endangering children & careless use of a firearm? The reasoning behind this story makes no sense at all. Makes me wonder if there is a dead body hidden in the snow somewhere along the road that will turn up next spring or so, or maybe this was a bungled part of a terror attack. |

| #4 Hope they checked the trunk for smuggled cigarettes. And WHY THE HELL ISN'T HE FACING WEAPONS CHARGES?! That's certainly not safe handling of a firearm, as a Michigan resident he almost certainly doesn't have a CCW permit, and he could very well have shot an innocent bystander. (Oh, wait. Masturbating with a gun is part of his faith, innit?) |

| #2 That stinks to high heaven. Ohio Turnpike is limited-access, so we're not exactly talking about downtown Detroit here, safety-wise. I'd guess that he's running from someone. The missus's angry relatives? Loan sharks? Has he been embezzling from the wrong people? |

| #1 AH, Let me suggest a third option - Mahmoud was concerned that Mrs. Mahmoud might wanna make a break for it, and there was a struggle... Mike |
