    Pennsylvania man saws off hand, shoots nails into head trying to stop pain

    The Associated Press

    BETHLEHEM, Pa. (January 25, 2001 7:24 a.m. EST http://www.nandotimes.com) - A construction worker accidentally cut off his hand with a power saw, then repeatedly shot himself in the head with a nail gun, apparently hoping to end his pain, police said.

    William Bartron, 25, had at least a dozen 1-inch nails protruding from his scalp, police said. He underwent surgery to reattach the hand and was hospitalized in stable condition Wednesday, his employer Greg Soltis said.

    Bartron severed his hand Tuesday while using a miter saw in the basement of another man's home, police said. After finding Bartron, the man called 911. Soltis arrived a short time later.

    Soltis said Bartron had shot several nails into his head with a pneumatic gun "because he could not stand the pain from the amputation," according to police.
