One man from Tuesday night's downtown Portland shooting remains hospitalized with a gunshot wound to his leg, while the 40-year-old suspect is being treated for an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound to his testicles, police said Wednesday.
An apparent robbery attempt between the two men who were neighbors led to the shooting just before 8 p.m. in the parking lot of an apartment building in the 1400 block of Southwest Park Ave, police said.
During the dispute, the 40-year-old man pulled out a gun and shot the other man in the leg, police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said. The wounded 32-year-old man ran over to the Safeway on Southwest 10th Avenue and Columbia Street for help. He was later taken to the hospital with a leg injury.
As the suspect fled the scene, he accidentally shot himself in the groin, police said.
"The suspect's wound is consistent with somebody putting a gun in his pants," Simpson said Wednesday night.

Does that qualify for a Darwin Award? Assuming he will not be able to reproduce.

...but wasn't sure what they were"
I'm gonna go out on a limb, here, and speculate that one was a "bang" and the other was an "OW FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK"
