An incident took place in Barstow, California last night at about 10 PM, the incident ended in 53 year old Janice Jones being shot in the leg by her own 9mm handgun.
The gun was knocked off the table by Ms. Jones dog at her motor home parked near highway 1. The weapon discharged, and the bullet passed clean through Jones' leg and the vehicle.
"It could have been worse," said California Highway Patrol press liaison Tammy Rye. "The bullet hit two inches from the gas tank."
Jones was taken by ambulance to Huntington beach hospital and then moved to Irvine Medical center.
"Jones is being treated for a minor leg wound," said Rye. "And she is expected to make a full recovery.
Jones' dog, a Pomeranian named Tombo, was placed in the care of Huntington Beach Animal Control officers. The dog was malnourished, and had fresh cigarette burns all over it's forehead.
"It could have done with a little less abuse and a little more of those pork chops," said animal control officer Janet Ngo.
