Some Guy Tried to Distract His Beer Pong Opponent with a Gun, Accidentally Shot Two People

A beer pong player in Chicago pulled the ultimate party foul last Saturday when he took out a gun to distract his opponent at a Fourth of July party and wound up accidentally shooting two people, DNAinfo reports.

The shooter, Manus Shannon, waved his 9mm semiautomatic in his opponent's face, hoping he would miss the next beer pong shot, police said. When the guy pushed Shannon away, the gun discharged, sending a bullet through the opponent's finger before lodging in another poor bastard's shoulder. The second victim wasn't even playing beer pong—he was sitting down and texting, Assistant State's Attorney Erin Antonietti said during Shannon's bond hearing on Monday.

Shannon was arrested on charges of reckless discharge of a firearm on Saturday night. He had permits to own, carry, and conceal a firearm in Arkansas, but didn't update his paperwork when he moved to Illinois in February. He's being held on a $100,000 bond.

At least things worked out for him on the beer pong table—Shannon's opponent left for the hospital mid-game, and a forfeit counts as a win.
