Well, This Kinda Changes the Narrative...

Authorities say hitchhiker shot himself

A West Virginia man who claimed to be the victim of a drive-by shooting along a rural Montana highway while working on a memoir called “Kindness in America” has confessed to shooting himself, authorities said Friday.

Valley County sheriff’s officials said they believe 39-year-old Ray Dolin shot himself as a desperate act of self-promotion, but they offered no further details.

I thought the story smelled a bit ripe.

I wonder if he's a supporter of the Brady Campaign....
