Man shoots himself in the foot to "see what it feels like"

COLORADO SPRINGS, Co — We’ve all wondered what experiencing certain things would feel like. However, when it involves pain, not everyone is willing to take a chance to find out.

Adam Hirtle did.

Cops say Adam "stated he took his boot off and shot it.” But he didn’t stop there. He “placed his boot back on his foot and then intentionally shot himself in the foot."

The Denver Post reports Sgt. James Sokolik confirmed, "he did not sustain a life-threatening injury nor was anybody else injured."

Adam faces charges of prohibited use of weapons, reckless endangerment and child abuse.
