Mayor claims to have shot Cheney

The mayor of Carlsbad, New Mexico, claims to have shot vice president Dick Cheney during a hunting trip in the 1990's.
... Bob Forrest said he doesn’t know for certain if he or his twin brother, Dick Forrest, fired the shot during the hunting trip in the late 1990s. It accidentally pelted Cheney, who was then chief executive at Halliburton Co.

“We’re probably the only twins in the United States that have shot the vice president and never have gone to jail,” Forrest joked. The Albuquerque Journal reported the incident Sunday.
He can't remember who fired the shot? He must have had a beer for lunch.
