The Official "Strange News" Thread

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) - A Brazilian man died Tuesday when he tried to open what police believe was a rocket-propelled grenade with a sledgehammer in a mechanical workshop on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro.

Another man who was in the workshop at the time of the explosion was rushed to a hospital with severe burns, a police officer told Reuters. The workshop was destroyed and several cars parked outside caught fire.

Police found several unexploded army issue rocket-propelled grenades in the workshop. They believe the ammunition had been brought there by scavengers wanting to sell them as scrap metal, but they also are investigating a possible link to Rio's heavily armed drug gangs who often raid military bases.

A man was treated in Erie County Medical Center after being shot in the middle finger of his left hand Wednesday, Buffalo police said. Lawayne Williams of LaSalle Avenue told police two men in a car pulled up close to him at a stop sign at Minnesota and Comstock avenues at about 11:45 a.m.

When he gave them a dirty look (finger), they shot him.
