As many were debating the merits of NBC sports announcer Bob Costas editorializing Sunday about the need for gun control in the U.S. after a tragic murder and subsequent suicide by a professional football player in Kansas City, a gun was tossed in a deep fryer in a Las Vegas restaurant and fired shots.

A Las Vegas police report obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal says that one of the restaurant workers told police that a man had asked her to hold his gun for him when police showed up, but she refused.

So he tossed into the deep-fryer.

And it exploded.

The deep-fried gun ended up not hurting anyone.
