The four-legged perpetrator accidentally triggered a weapon in a pickup truck, local media has reported
Police investigating a gunshot incident in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, discovered that the gunman in question was not, in fact, a man, but a dog that had accidentally pulled the trigger, injuring a passerby, local news has reported.
Officers were called to a store on Saturday and informed that someone had been shot by a shotgun, local news outlet KNOP reported. Upon arrival, they found a pickup truck with one of its doors blown out, suggesting that the weapon had been fired from inside the truck.
They discovered that the owner of the truck had left his dog in the backseat as he went into the store. The dog had moved from one side of the seat to the other, catching its paw on the trigger of a loaded shotgun. The blast ripped through the skin of the vehicle, and one pellet struck a woman sitting at a nearby traffic light with her arm hanging out the window of her vehicle.
The woman was taken to a hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
