This, from the Darwin Awards site:

    (7 March 2002, Colorado) When Gerald was pulled over by police
         for erratic driving, he decided it was better to flee from the stolen
         car on foot, rather than face possible jail time for a parole violation.
         This was the first of two successive mental lapses. Gerald's actual
         thoughts are unknown, but *may* have been something like this:
         "The officers are only suspicious and alert now... I'll make them hot,
         sweaty, tired, and angry by leading them on a wild chase through
         dark alleys and fields."

         During the subsequent foot chase, Gerald attempted to dissuade
         officers from the pursuit by firing a 9mm Ruger semiautomatic
         handgun blindly over his shoulder. This was the second illustration
         of a potential mental deficiency. "Officers are running behind me.
         They have guns. I have a gun! They have eyes in the front of their
         heads, so they can see to aim at me. I don't have eyes in the back
         of my head, so I'll fire wildly behind me and see what happens!"

         Unfortunately, Gerald appears to have been one of those folks who
         can't chew gum and walk at the same time. Or at least he couldn't
         flee and fire at the same time. While discharging the weapon over
         his shoulder, Gerald managed to shoot himself in the head with his
         own gun, bringing the chase to a sudden conclusion.

         Four shots were fired, none by the officers, who found Gerald's
         pistol next to his fallen body. Gerald was transported to a local
         hospital where he expired the following day, thus removing a set of
         genes deficient in both judgment and coordination from the gene
         pool.
