Last week, a man was killed when someone thought he was a boar, which is a large wild pig.
Today, the Las Vegas Sun reports a 9 year old girl was shot because someone thought she looked like a skunk: Police say a costumed 9-year-old girl was accidentally shot outside a
western Pennsylvania home during a Halloween party by a relative who
thought she was a skunk.
New Sewickley Township police say the
girl was over a hillside and wearing a black costume and a black hat
with a white tassel. Chief Ronald Leindecker says a male relative
mistook her for a skunk and fired a shotgun, hitting her in the shoulder
Saturday night.
Leindecker tells the Beaver County Times ( http://bit.ly/QzCkxj)
that the girl was alert and talking when she was flown to a hospital in
Pittsburgh, about 30 miles away. Her condition was unavailable.
Leindecker says the man hadn't been drinking and he doesn't know whether charges will be filed. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/oct/21/us-costumed-girl-shot/
Unless the guy thought he was shooting at Pepe Le Pew, from the Bugs Bunny shows, I just cannot picture a 9 year old girl being confused as a skunk.
