Dog bites man, man bites dog but in this case its dog shoots woman with shotgun in Scottsbluff.
No one was killed or seriously injured Saturday when the dog accidentally discharged the firearm while the truck the dog was in was parked at a convenience store on I Street.
The woman who was injured was sitting in a pickup at a stoplight near the store with her right arm resting outside of the window when the gun went off with one pellet from the shotgun striking her in the arm.
Authorities said the injury was not life threatening but that she was taken to Regional West Medical Center for treatment.
Nebraska law prohibits having a shotgun loaded in the chamber, receiver, or magazine inside a vehicle traveling on the states highways, unless permitted by law.
The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed at this time, against the dog or its owners.
