US man shoots friend in leg at his request

Authorities say a New York man had his friend shoot him in the leg because he wanted to know what it feels like to be shot.
 
State police say the shooting occurred Sunday in the rural town of Stockholm when 25-year-old Shawn Mossow gave in to his friend's repeated requests and shot him once in the right leg with a .22-caliber rifle.
 
The 24-year-old man is expected to make a full recovery. Police haven't released his name.
 
Mossow was charged with reckless endangerment. He's being held in jail on $10,000 bail.
