What sort of world do we live in where you can't shoot your own penis and not get arrested eh?

After hearing gunshots in the wee hours of the morning locals called the authorities who found the man bleeding in his car when they arrived on scene. He was then brought to San Fernando General Hospital where he received treatment under police guard.
