I Got Shot By "The Blacks!"

Depiction of a suspect in a hoodie. Not the guy who shot a man while on his bicycle. 

The Raw Story reports that a Connecticut man was shot. Guess who the suspect was? If you're thinking it's one of "Obama's sons", you're wrong!

The suspect is the guy who shot himself. He tried to blame a gang of people in black hoodies.

Gun crimes continue in America.

The Connecticut Post reports that this man tried to blame "those guys" for his self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Turns out a local man, who claimed he was the victim of a shooting by a Bridgeport gang, actually made poor choice of having a loaded gun in his waistband while out bicycling.

But Wendell Docteur's poor choice has turned out to be a prescription for jail time.

On Thursday, the 22-year-old Docteur, of Hollister Street, was charged with making a false statement, unlawful discharge of a firearm and failure to report a lost firearm.

Docteur, who later posted a $10,000 bond, didn't return calls for comment. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court on Sept. 5.

On May 3, police were notified by Bridgeport Hospital staff that they were treating Docteur for a gunshot wound to the right leg.

Police said Docteur told them he had been out riding his bicycle on California Street when he was confronted by a half dozen men, dressed all in black with hooded sweatshirts covering their faces.

He said the men demanded his money and then shot him. As they fled they yelled, "North End, North End," which Docteur told police he took to mean they were a gang from the North End of Bridgeport.

But police said Docteur's story just didn't smell right.

Despite insisting he was shot at, police said they could only find a bullet exit hole from his pants.

When they confronted Docteur with this discrepancy, they said he admitted he had accidentally shot himself while riding.

Although Docteur has a pistol permit, police said he couldn't account for the handgun he had shot himself with.

The state is still coping over the incident in December 2012. Sandy Hook is the third worst mass shooting in the history of the United States.

Twenty-six lives were lost on December 14, 2012 after a mentally disturbed man named Adam Lanza forced his way through the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

The state's governor Dan Malloy signed a gun control law this year in response to this tragedy. The president is trying to encourage Congress to pass reasonable gun control laws. Unfortunately, they're scared of the outcome of the conservative agitators and the National Rifle Association.

Will it take another Trayvon Martin, another Chris Lane, another Gabby Giffords, or a Sandy Hook to drive lawmakers to passing gun control laws?
