Why Stupid People Shouldn't Own Firearms
[Source:AP Wire Services]
CONFLUENCE, Pa. - A man missed a mouse he was trying to shoot with a small-caliber handgun and wounded his girlfriend instead, state police said.
Donald Rugg, 43, of Confluence, was trying to kill the rodent with a .22-caliber handgun when his girlfriend, Cathy Jo Harris, 38, apparently went into the line of fire and was hit in the arm early Tuesday morning, state police said.
She was taken to Somerset Hospital where she was listed in fair condition Tuesday, said hospital spokesman Greg Chiappelli.
Neither Rugg nor Harris could immediately be reached for comment.
State police said they won't charge Rugg, but advised against people shooting firearms inside.

Indeed. There should be an intelligence test before they sell you any kind of gun. Don't get me wrong, I once blew a hole in the drywall with a .44 killing a bug (A really BIG bug), but I no one was home or in my line of fire when I did it.
