Authorities say a northern New York man had his friend shoot him in the leg with a rifle because he wanted to know what it feels like to be shot.  

State police in St. Lawrence County say the shooting occurred around 5 p.m. in the rural town of Stockholm when 25-year-old Shawn Mossow of neighboring Norfolk relented to his friend’s repeated requests and shot him once in the right leg with a .22-caliber rifle.

The 24-year-old man from Norfolk is expected to make a full recovery.

Police haven’t released his name.

Mossow was charged with reckless endangerment, and is being held in the county jail on $10,000 bail.

It could not be immediately determined if he had a lawyer.
