Memphis Man Shot in Leg While in Bed with Lady Friend - Blames It on the Dog
In a wild turn of events, a Memphis man found himself nursing a leg wound after a late-night incident involving his dog. The man, who has chosen to remain anonymous, was reportedly in bed with a female friend around 4 a.m. when the unexpected happened.
According to a police report, the couple was just hanging out, chatting, and relaxing when the man's one-year-old pit bull, Oreo, decided to join the fun. However, things took a dangerous turn when Oreo jumped onto the bed and accidentally stepped on a gun that was nearby.
The police report detailed that Oreo's paw got caught in the trigger guard, leading to a rather unfortunate series of events. The dog inadvertently hit the trigger, causing the gun to discharge and resulting in a graze wound to the man's left thigh.
Emergency responders arrived on the scene to treat the injury, but the situation took another twist when the man's female companion made a hasty exit, taking the gun with her. When officers questioned the man about the weapon, he revealed that she had left with it.
Only one shell casing was found at the scene, and the police classified the incident as an "accidental injury." This unusual case raises questions about gun safety and the unexpected antics of our furry friends.
