Tired party host shoots himself in arm

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (UPI) -- A Canadian man in Winnipeg told police he was only trying to get party guests to leave his home before 4 a.m. when he accidentally shot himself in the arm.

Neighbors who heard the shot called police early Tuesday and the unidentified 37-year-old victim first told officers someone had shot him, said police spokesman Constable Blair Good.

However, it was determined there was no other suspect, the Winnipeg Sun reported.

"He was handling the handgun incorrectly and he shot himself in the (right bicep)," Good said.

The man said he wanted about eight guests to leave and so he brought out a gun, although his intentions weren't clear, Good said.

He did manage to clear everyone out of the house, as all the guests took off after the shooting, the Sun said.

The man faces some 10 unregistered weapons charges when a court date is set, Good said.
