Woman Shoots Herself While Trying to Kill Mice

[ChefLisa]

POTTER VALLEY, Calif. — A Mendocino County woman who was trying to kill mice in her trailer with a gun ended up shooting herself and another person.

The 43-year-old woman pulled out her .44-caliber Magnum revolver after she saw the mice scurrying across the floor of her trailer on Highway 20 in Potter Valley, sheriff's officials said.

But she accidentally dropped the gun, which went off as it struck the floor. The bullet went through the woman's kneecap, bounced off the keys sitting on the belt loop of a 42-year-old man in the trailer and grazed the man's groin before ending up in his coin pocket.

Authorities did not release the shooting victims' names.

The mice escaped the shooting unharmed.

OMG...it would be funny if it wasn't so STUPID!

That's like my neighbor next door who was shooting a BOW AND ARROW to kill a squirrel....in our neighborhood with ELEVEN houses on a dead end. The wind caught the arrow, and it ended up in the back quarter of a Camero down the street...just missing the gas tank. (BTW- if the wind hadn't have caught it, it could have hit A HOUSE!!)

Funny how being an adult doesn't make you have common sense!

Just further proof that the gene pool doesn't have a lifeguard. And there are far too many people swimming in the shallow end.

Oh Ann, that is one of my favorite "lifeguard" sayings!!!!

dang! "You might be a redneck if......" totally fits this situation!

 

[PCJenni]

Yes, one less dumb person to breed is probably a good thing! "In the olden days" people like this would have been weeded out but today we just keep them around for laughs!

This post reminded me of the show verminators. This lady called the exterminator to kill the mice that were in her house and when the monster trap did not kill the mouse the lady was so upset when he went in to shoot the thing. She was almost in tears.

She didn't qualify for the Darwin awards - she survived.

Somewhere in Potter Valley there is a mouse that is laughing his little tail off. Thanks for the laugh!

She can always try again another time!

 

[Cindycooks]

She was shooting mice with a 44 Magnum? Was she drunk?

 

[katie0128]

Does it really matter? Who shoots at mice with any type of firearm IN THE HOUSE???

 

[Cindycooks]

drunk people

 

[DebbieSAChef]

Well I'm just glad they didn't have children in the house. For goodness sake, this lady sounds nuts and might have used the mouse as an excuse to shoot this guy, only she shot herself too!! LOL

"Oh look honey a mouse, I'll get the gun! By the way who was that you were on the phone with last night?" "OUCH!!!"

Good thing there wasn't an ax lying around too!

Heee Heee

She must be related to the man who was trying to mount his home stereo system, he needed to make a whole in the wall, could find his hammer or drill so got out his shotgun and blew a hole into the wall...... He is now, I believe serving life in prison.... His wife was on the other side of the wall reading.....

scary

 

[pampered.chris]

WOW...when I was younger I used to have a sticker on my car that read "Stupid People Shouldn't Breed"....I think that fits.

I think Forest Gump said it best: "Stupid is as stupid does!"

Stupid doesn't seem confined to WV and Alabama.....it's everywhere!
