Woman shoots at dog, kills husband.

[RickN]

Do not know if you folks heard anout this one,

Police in Mississippi say a woman opened fire on a puppy that had threatened children, but wound up shooting and killing her husband.

Witnesses tell police that the pit bull named "Cocaine" had lunged at some children and tried to attack them on Friday. The dead man's son says the children were taken inside and his father picked the dog up.

It was then that police say Betty Walker fired twice, hitting the dog once and her husband once in the chest. Jackson police spokeswoman Colendula Green says the death of 53-year-old Robert Walker appears to have been accidental.

She says a Hinds County grand jury will decide whether to charge Betty Walker.

Animal control officers have taken the dog, and its owner could face charges.

Wow.... "appears to be accidental"

Are we quite sure that was an accident? I mean, she waited until he picked up the dog to shoot it?

Maybe he had it coming and she got two dogs in two shots.

My first thought was, "Did the dog survive?"

Shows where my sympathies lie sometimes, I guess...

ay, yi, yi ... "Know what's behind your target"



Or maybe she did and that's why she popped off a round?

The puppy was so mean that the husband was able to pick it up. I'm calling bs on the ladies story.

"Here, hold my beer, I'll grab the dog, and you shoot it".

Husband: "Honey let me grab the dog and you shoot the bastard!"
Wife: "What about my backstop, I don't want to hit an innocent bystander"
Husband: "Don't worry I'll be your backstop, just shoot the damn thing"

all jokes and cat calls aside, this will be another poster for te anti guns. An IDIOT used poor judgement and a HUMAN died as a result. Nothing accidental about it.
