Hard news.

STORY ONE
According to California Highway Patrol, Janice Jones, a 53 year old woman, lives in California with her dog, Tombo. Officer Tammy Rye said that Janice’s dog knocked a 9mm gun off of a seat, which ended up shooting Janice in the leg. This incident occurred around 10 p.m. on Wednesday night, while she was eating pork chops, in her motorhome. Although she got shot, Jones could be considered very lucky. “It could have been worse,” Rye said. “The bullet hit two inches from the gas tank.” Later an ambulance transported her to Huntington Beach Hospital where after that she was transported to Irvine Medical Center. The hospital treated her injuries and they gave no further information about Ms. Jones. While she was being treated, Tombo, the pomeranian was cared for by the Huntington Beach Animal Control officers. Janet Ngo, animal control officer, said that Tombo was a nit malnourished and had cigarette burns on his forehead, which brought up the concern of animal abuse and she indicated that the office would think about pressing animal abuse charges against Janice. “It could have done with a little less abuse and a few more of those pork chops,” Ngo said. Jones wasn’t just in trouble for animal abuse but she was later found with an expired plate and the county’s district attorney’s office was thinking about charging her for the accident or not, as Jones didn't even have a permit for the gun.
