Dim Crims: It's a Knockout

A new version of the Knockout Game that involved a stun gun didn’t work out too well for the  Lansing, Michigan, thug who had planned to use it on his next victim.  Instead of punching the victim in the face, he used a taser  — a KL-800 Type Stun Gun capable of generating 1.8 million volts. But the intended victim had other ideas. The assailants had scouted the site, the victim and even practiced firing the taser. But then it all went wrong.  When the thug  jammed the taser into the ribs of the target and pulled the trigger, it jammed. The target pulled out his .40 caliber Smith and Wesson and shot the thug in the upper thigh as he tried to escape to the getaway van where two of his accomplices waited.
According to MLive.com: The thug ran, sat down across the street, his leg going numb, bleeding. Pleading.
