Man who shot himself in testicles gets five years jail

A 28-year-old man who shot himself in the testicles with a sawn-off shotgun has been jailed for five years.

David Walker had drunk 15 pints of lager when he accidentally discharged the gun which was stuffed down his trousers, Sheffield Crown Court heard.

The court was told how Walker underwent emergency surgery following the incident in Dinnington, South Yorkshire, and tests are continuing to find out how it will affect his fertility and future "sexual relationships."
