A dog accidentally opened fire on a woman in Nebraska this past week after police say the animal accidentally walked over a shotgun and caused the weapon to discharge.
According to multiple reports, the incident happened last Saturday afternoon in Scottsbluff, Nebraska.
Police arrived at the Short Stop convenience store in the city after receiving reports that someone had been struck by a projectile.
Officers were working off of initial information that suggested a BB gun may have been involved.
That stood to reason, as shotguns generally shoot small spherical pellets which can easily be mistaken for BBs.
While officers were at the scene, they confirmed the weapon involved actually was a shotgun,accordingto People magazine.
During their investigation, officers found a truck with an attached camper parked outside the Short Stop.
They said the truck owner had stopped at the convenience store.
At some point during the stop, a dog moving around inside the back seat seemed to have stepped on and triggered a loaded shotgun, ABC Newsreported.
Police said the firearm had a live shell chambered when it went off.
