Still Waters Posted October 22, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2012 A nine-year-old girl was accidentally shot outside a home during a Halloween party by a relative who thought she was a skunk. The child was over a hillside and wearing a black dress and a black hat with a white tassel, according to police in western Pennsylvania. Chief Ronald Leindecker says a male relative mistook her for a skunk and fired a shotgun, hitting her in the shoulder on Saturday night. http://www.dailymail...aken-SKUNK.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashotep Posted October 22, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The last skunk I saw probably only weighted 5 pounds or so. How do you mistake a child for one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+and-then Posted October 22, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) The last skunk I saw probably only weighted 5 pounds or so. How do you mistake a child for one? First, Wolfknight is correct - you POSITIVELY- I D anything you are about to pull a trigger on. But the guy isn't as guilty as it sounds...just broke the rule."The child was over a hillside and wearing a black dress and a black hat with a white tassel, according to police in western Pennsylvania." If he'd had a problem with skunks and was expecting to see one then seeing her just over the crest of a hill, I can see how he could make the mistake....THAT is why you always positively ID what you are about to KILL... Some folks don't need to have guns around. Edited October 22, 2012 by and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keel M. Posted October 22, 2012 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I don't think I wanna meet the skunk that is the size of a 9 year old girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldethyl Posted October 22, 2012 #8 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Why was he shooting a skunk that far away anyway? Are they good eating or what? This guy needs to go back to the meth lab and stay indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
