So this video is pretty crazy…

In it, you can see a man in the distance standing in the middle of a pond full of dirty water while another man, identified by TMZ Sports as former boxing champion Kelly Pavlik, takes aim at him with a pellet gun. At one point, Pavlik allegedly pulls the trigger and hits the man in the pond. The man then screams and informs the shooter that he was hit in the arm.

“Ow! You son of a bitch. It went right through my arm,” the man says. “You just shot me in the arm…Dude, I got blood.”

Although it kind of seemed like the guy in the pond was kidding around, he later filed a police report claiming that Pavlik was drinking and shot him with the pellet gun. As a result, a prosecutor in Mahoning County, Ohio is currently looking into what happened and trying to decide whether or not to charge Pavlik with a crime.

Check out the clip above to see what happened. Although Pavlik was only armed with a pellet gun, this could have ended much worse than it did.
