In a nice bit of instant karma, a Brampton man who attempted to steal a puppy accidentally shot himself in the leg while fleeing.
According to Peel Regional Police, the sloppy alleged thief met up with a puppy seller on Friday.
When the seller handed over the very good boy—an American Bulldog named Tarzan—the suspect allegedly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the victim. He refused to pay, according to police. Then he took off on foot.
But while our genius was making his grand escape, he accidentally shot himself in the leg with his Colt .45 handgun. He fell to the ground and there he remained until police showed up and he was transported to the hospital.
His injuries were non-life threatening.
Police did not name the suspect, but he’s been charged with robbery and firearms offences.
Tarzan is doing just fine.
