Stunning police work

A clumsy New Zealand policeman attending a domestic dispute accidentally shot himself and a teenager with a stun gun before pepper-spraying an innocent woman, reports said.

The constable was loading his weapon when he accidentally blasted himself with the taser's 50,000 volts while trying to stun a man at the centre of the incident last month, the New Zealand Herald reported.

Another shot hit the man's 16-year-old son.

After five attempts to hit the man, the officer eventually used pepper spray, but succeeded only in hitting the man's 21-year-old daughter -- an unintended target.

The wanted man eventually gave himself up.
