Really. CNN reports:
A man who tried to shoot seven puppies was shot himself when one of the dogs put its paw on the revolver's trigger.Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, was charged with felony animal cruelty, the Escambia County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday. He was being treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound to his wrist.
Bradford said he decided to shoot the 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head because he couldn't find them a home, according to the sheriff's office.
On Monday, Bradford was holding two puppies -- one in his arms and another in his left hand -- when the dog in his hand wiggled and put its paw on the trigger of the .38-caliber revolver. The gun then discharged, the sheriff's report said.
First, I would note that CNN has still not seen fit to run a story about James Monroe Mims.
My question is whether John Lott/Mary Rosh will report that incident as "self defense" or "accident" in his/her next book?
