Using
a tree for target practice sounds harmless enough, right? That wasn’t the case
for an Iowa man who is recovering at a hospital after the tree he aimed his gun
at fired back.
No,
this isn’t an April Fools’ Day prank playing on the much-maligned M. Night
Shyamalan film “The Happening.”
An
Iowa man is expected to survive but will have one heck of a story to tell after
he fired his pistol at a tree only to have the shot ricochet and
impact upon himself.
27-year-old
Logan Bunn transported himself to a nearby hospital in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
The Allamakee County Sheriff’s Office says the incident happened at about
4:30am on Sunday morning.
In
the ongoing war between man and nature, many more trees have fallen at the feet
of their human counterparts. But there have been notable exceptions. Last
month, an Illinois man was killed when a tree he was attempting to cut
down fell upon him.
And
on Christmas Day 2012, a Houston man was killed when he was attempting to
clear a fallen tree from the street outside his home. During the removal
effort, a second tree fell on him, causing the fatality.
