At 10 pm in Barstow California, 53 year old Janice Jones, got shot in the leg when her dog fired her 9 mm handgun. The bullet went through her right leg and through side of there car.
According to California Highway Patrol press liaison Tammy Rye, Janice jones was eating pork chops in the back of her motor home, which was parked on Beach Boulevard near Highway 1, when her dog knocked her 9 mm handgun off a seat. Even though the bullet passed through Jones' right leg and through side of the vehicle, Jones knew it wasn't as bad as it could've been. “It could have been worse,” Rye said. “The bullet hit two inches from the gas tank.”
Jones dog was named Tombo and was placed in the care of the Huntington Beach Animal Control officers after the incident. The dog seemed to be malnourished, according to Janet Ngo, one of the animal control officers, and had fresh cigarette burns on its forehead. “It could have done with a little less abuse and a few more of those pork chops,” Ngo said.Ngo is filing animal abuse charges against Jones.
Rye said officers cited Jones for expired plates and the county’s district attorney’s office was considering whether to charge her in relation to the gun accident because she isn't allowed to own the gun. "Jones doesn’t have a permit for the gun," Rye said.
