Police: Man shot wife with toilet paper
Published: July 21, 2010 at 8:14 PM

REIDSVILLE, N.C., July 21 (UPI) -- Police in North Carolina said they arrested a man who allegedly loaded his gun with a wad of toilet paper and shot his wife in the back.

The Rockingham County Sheriff's Office said Lonnie Irvin Pinnix, 38, loaded the pistol with toilet paper when his wife, Darlene Pinnix, 55, returned to their Reidsville home shortly after midnight Tuesday, WGHP-TV, High Point, N.C., reported Wednesday.

Investigators said the wife lay down on the bed and Lonnie Pinnix shot her in the back with the toilet paper ammunition when she refused his demands to get back up. Deputies said Darlene Pinnix was taken to a hospital to receive treatment for powder burns.

Lonnie Pinnix told deputies he shot his wife because she wouldn't leave, the report said. He was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and jailed in lieu of $1,000 bond.

My guess would be that he pulled the head, dumped most of the powder, then inserted the paper wad.

The Mythbusters did an episode about an ice bullet.

Actually, no. :shrug

OT, but at least he didn't try this in Newark ...

"MYFOXNY.COM - Things are getting so bad in Newark that the mayor has ordered the government to stop buying toilet paper."

No explanation ... but, like I needed another reason NOT to go to Newark.

Maybe they should just buy a cheaper brand.
