[Whisper]

Shawn Mossow, 25, has been charged with reckless endangerment after he allegedly shot his 24-year-old friend because his buddy wanted to know what it would feel like

STOCKHOLM, N.Y. (AP) -- Authorities say a northern New York man had his friend shoot him in the leg with a rifle because he wanted to know what it feels like to be shot.

State police in St. Lawrence County say the shooting occurred around 5 p.m. Sunday in the rural town of Stockholm when 25-year-old Shawn Mossow of neighboring Norfolk relented to his friend's repeated requests and shot him once in the right leg with a .22-caliber rifle.

The 24-year-old man from Norfolk is expected to make a full recovery. Police haven't released his name.

Mossow was charged with reckless endangerment. He's being held in the county jail on $10,000 bail.

I think in the cases where someone asks to be shot no charges should be filed. If someone wants to be stupid and know what it feels like to be shot, play Russian roulette, is too much of a pussy to commit suicide themselves, or any of the other numerous reasons other than outright murder than I say have at it.

He begged him to shoot him and then told on him? What an ass! Don't be that guys friend!

If the fucking dickhead wanted to be shot why didnt he do it himself (fair enough if it was a rifle might have been difficult) but even if that was the case he must have said something if the police found out that his friend done it if so then atleast tell the police that he done it himself what a dick !
