DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF A DUDE THAT SHOT HIMSELF WHILE DRUNK?

This is a story you'd expect out of Montana or something. Maybe even Sterling or Ashford. But not a half-way decent town like Southington.

"Police said Robert Snietka, of 194 Carey St., was firing his gun recklessly at fallen tree branches that had fallen on his property on Nov. 6."

This dude allegedly accidentally shot himself while drunk last month. What was he shooting at? Fallen tree limbs.

I know you wanted to clean up your yard, bro, but what did you think shooting tree limbs was going to do? Make them explode and disappear?

Then again, short of a baby being delivered in a house, this guy has the best "What the hell did you do when the power was out?" story I've heard.
