Priorities? Guy Takes Selfies Right After He's Shot In The Shoulder (Photos)

What would you do if you ever got shot?

Hopefully, if you're sane and intelligent, you'd immediately call an ambulance and/or the police and seek refuge somewhere safe.

Isaac Martinez, apparently, is neither of those things because when he got shot, he took a selfie to commemorate the (hopefully) once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Mind you, this was no accidental shooting. According to a reporter who posted Martinez's selfie -- sorry, selfies --  on Twitter, Martinez had been shot by a white supremacist on a shooting spree.

You'd think, given the circumstances, taking a selfie would be the last thing on his mind. Alas, it was the first.

Luckily, Martinez's poor judgement did not cause him any additional harm. He was treated at a local hospital and released to recover at home, where he remains, probably tweeting selfies every two minutes.
