apparently I am a sick bastard

Remember that scene in Intolerable Cruelty in which Wheezy Joe tragically mixes up his gun with his inhaler? Nearly as hilarious in potential for some sick-ass filmmaker looking for real-life inspiration is the following set of incidents reported in "News of the Weird" (which you really have to visualize or, better, re-enact sans gun): "criminal suspects Fabian Patillo, 21, in a Chicago suburb (June), and a 23-year-old man in East Germantown, Pa. (July), shot themselves in the head when they too-hastily fired their guns behind them trying to shoot pursuers. (Mr. Patillo did not survive.)"
