A 21-year-old man in the United States asked his friend to shoot him in the shoulder so he could skip work, sheriff’s detectives in Washington say.
Not content with faking a cough or sniffle, Daniel Kuch took the bullet in the right shoulder allegedly to avoid taking a drug test at his place of employment.
It is unclear where Mr Kuch works, or whether he still has a job.
