Beer pong gone wrong: Man attempts to distract opponent with gun, accidentally shoots 2 people
A 27-year-old man was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm after his attempt to distract a beer pong opponent at a party Saturday night backfired.
Manus Shannon was playing the drinking game when he pulled out a 9mm semi-automatic pistol and began waving it around in his opponent’s face in an effort to make him lose. But the opponent, a 24-year-old man, pushed Shannon back, causing him to inadvertently discharge the firearm.
The beer bong opponent was struck in the finger, while another party-goer, who was sitting down nearby texting and had no part in the game, was struck in the shoulder.
The men drove themselves to the hospital for treatment of the non-life threatening wounds.
Shannon, who has a valid FOID card and a concealed handgun permit from Arkansas, where he lived until a few months ago, is being held in lieu of a $100,000 bail.
