Downward Spiral
Man gets shot in his back by his own dog
A Memphis, Tennessee man is in critical condition after his dog shot him in the back. Police say King George, a 150-pound Great Dane, accidentally knocked a .22-caliber pistol off his owner's end table around 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The gun went off, hitting his 21-year-old owner in the back. "I knew he was smart, I didn't think he was that smart", said the victim's fiancé, Miesha Lucas. "He was always protective. I didn't think he would be like that." Police refused to name the victim as they do not plan to file charges in the shooting, which they've ruled as accidental. Lucas told said that she fears what her fiancé will do to the pet once he gets out of the hospital.
There's a news video here.
Editor's comment: Why would they name the victims fiancé and not the victim himself? It sounds like they are blaming the dog for what appears to be the victim irresponsibility.
