The Guardian On 12.3 reported a rare incident in the US when Jerald Kirkwood reported the situation when he was lying with a gun placed in bed, the pet dog jumped into the bed and accidentally made a fire gun.
Local media quoted information from the police that the bullet had slipped the man’s left thigh. The police added that the dog named Oreo, like Pitbull, climbed into bed, stuck his foot in the trigger and stole the trigger.
Pitbull dogs are raised by some families
The woman with Mr. Kirkwood and Oreo at the time of the incident said that Oreo was a mischievous dog, likes to dance and play. The woman added that she will ensure safety inspection of all guns in the house. The police considered this to be an injury due to an accident and did not investigate the dog or the owner. Mr. Kirkwood was taken to the hospital with not serious wounds.
Tennessee state officials confirmed the safety of the gun and the basic responsibility of gun owners, recommending weapons away from children’s reach, locking safety latches and bullets elsewhere.
Mr. Kirkwood was not the first person to “be shot” by pets. In 2018, Mr. Richard Remme in Iowa was shot in his leg when the gun in his waist robbed the trigger while he was playing with a pet dog like a Pitbul-Labrador hybrid.
In 2019, the former rugby player Matt Matt Branch said his Labrador dog stepped on the hunting gun, causing the gun to rob the trigger and shoot at his feet, causing him to surgery to remove his leg later. “I’m happy that I was more alive than being angry because of losing my legs,” Mr. Branch shared at the time.
