An Eagle County man faces a whole work box full of charges after he accidentally shot himself with a nail gun; he was allegedly demonstrating how he was going to kill his companion.

Jose Sosa Vasquez, 28, faces charges of attempted murder, domestic violence, felony menacing, false imprisonment and wire-tapping after shooting himself with a nail gun. The woman, who would have been next in the line of fire if there had been any nails left, used sign language to communicate with the police - this after having dialed 911?

Vasquez was admitted to hospital with round the clock supervision until he can be transported to a detention facility, where details of the charges will be hammered out and pinned so tight to the guy that he can't break free. Yeah - they're really going to screw him with this one.
