Man injured after friend shot fridge full of explosives

If you were wondering how it is that we got the Orange Anus as the GOP nominee for President, I [link:http://www.thonline.com/news/tri-state/article_2b6d493e-0797-56f4-b7f7-6ad0135edb12.htmlpresent] the following;

Greg R. Curoe, 28, no address available, was taken to Mercy Medical Center-Dubuque for treatment, according to Dubuque County Sheriff Don Vrotsos.

Vrotsos said authorities were called at 5:24 p.m. Sunday to 18239 Callahan Road for a person injured during target shooting. Nate M. Johnson, 31, of that address, had put explosive material commonly used in target practice inside of a refrigerator.

Vrotsos said Johnson shot the target, which exploded. Curoe was struck by a piece of shrapnel sent flying in the blast, according to Vrotsos.

Vrotsos said Curoe is expected to make a full recovery.


And because it was accidental no charges are pending.
