A Tucson man arrested last fall after shooting himself in the leg while robbing a south-side pizza joint is facing between 10 1/2 and 70 years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday to seven felony charges.

John B. Catania, 32, pleaded guilty to two counts each of armed robbery, aggravated assault and kidnapping. He also pleaded guilty to being a prohibited gun possessor.

Last October, Tucson police received a 911 call from a woman saying her boyfriend had been shot. When police went to the 3500 block of East Lee Street, they found Catania, who said he had been shot by two men. Catania said he didn't know why he'd been shot.

About a half-hour earlier, police had also received a report of a robbery at the Little Caesar's Restaurant, 1998 E. Irvington Road.

Witnesses told police that the robber shot himself as he placed his handgun in the front waistband of his pants.

Catania has recovered from his gunshot wound and will be sentenced July 27 by Pima County Superior Court Judge Deborah Bernini, said defense attorney Eric Larsen.

Karma!! Shoot yourself during a hold-up, limp home and have your girlfriend call 911. Cops'll never figure that one out!

2. Very lucky man - only in the leg

When you think of what might have happened, jamming a loaded and cocked gun in your waistband, this guy got off pretty easy.

On the other hand, anyone this dumb should probably not be allowed to reproduce anyway.
