A Pasadena man is in jail today after trying to blast away a wasp nest with a shotgun in the middle of the night but instead hitting a 5-year-old neighbor boy asleep in his bed.

Pasadena police spokesman Sgt. J.M. Baird said Romeo Gonzalez, 18, was in his second-floor apartment at 3637 Shaver shortly after midnight when he decided to break up a wasp's nest hanging from a nearby tree.

Romeo loaded a 12-gauge shotgun and fired at the nest, but stray pellets entered a first-floor bedroom where David Marban was sleeping, striking him in the thigh, Baird said.

The boy's in the hospital but is reportedly doing well.

Gonzalez is charged with deadly conduct and is being held in the Harris County Jail in lieu of $5,000 bond, Baird said.

Before I bought wasp spray........I just turned that green can upside down and let it rip.

But that was a long time ago!

I use carb cleaner.

Wasp and Hornet spray makes an excellent substitute for mace, btw.. and it comes in small purse-sized cans.

Not that I'm suggesting that you use a product in a manner inconsistent with it's labeling or anything.. I would never do that.

I think I'd take a shot at his a$$ with that shotgun and then ask him, with a smile on my face, if it hurt..irresponsibility like that give everyone a bad name, who like to go shoot things in a civilized manner.

Mace? Mace? Isn't that something along with nutmeg that the old girls grate into their spicy eggnog at Xmas?
