Woman Shoots Herself While Trying to Kill Mice
POTTER VALLEY, Calif. — A Mendocino County woman who was trying to kill
mice in her trailer with a gun ended up shooting herself and another
person.
The 43-year-old woman pulled out her .44-caliber Magnum revolver after
she saw the mice scurrying across the floor of her trailer on Highway 20
in Potter Valley, sheriff's officials said.
But she accidentally dropped the gun, which went off as it struck the
floor. The bullet went through the woman's kneecap, bounced off the keys
sitting on the belt loop of a 42-year-old man in the trailer and grazed
the man's groin before ending up in his coin pocket.
Authorities did not release the shooting victims' names.
The mice escaped the shooting unharmed.

Way too funny!!!
OK, I can see this being a valid solution sometimes if you do your own
reloads and you put a very low powder load combined with a very small
lead shot or some sort of low mass projectile, but I seriously doubt that
she thought of that...
