What: Was shot in the knee
Where: Barstow, California & Beach Boulevard near Highway 1
When: 10 pm
Why: Dog knocked a 9mm handgun off of seat
How: Gun was too close to the edge of the seat/an accident
Being shot in the knee by a dog may
sound unbelievable, but at 10 p.m in Barstow, California, near Highway 1, 53
year old Janice Jones was shot in the knee by her dog who knocked a 9 mm
handgun off a seat in their motor home.
Jones was taken to the Huntington Beach Hospital soon after
and Jones’ Pomeranian, Tombo, was taken to the Huntington Beach Animal Care for
further care.
After getting Jones to the
hospital California Highway Patrol press liaison Tammy Rye looked at the motor
home where the gun went off.
“It could have been worse,” Rye
said. “The bullet hit two inches from the gas tank.”
Jones wasn’t the only one who
needed to be looked at, her dog Tombo had been abused and has cigarette burns
on its forehead.
“ It could have been a little
less abuse and a few more of those pork chops,” Animal Control officer Janet
Ngo said.
