 A Somerset County man missed a mouse he was trying to shoot with a small-caliber handgun and wounded his girlfriend instead, state police said. | Them mice are dangerous when wounded, girl friends more so. Or so I've been told... |
.Donald Rugg, 43, of Confluence, was trying to kill the rodent with a .22-caliber handgun when his girlfriend, Cathy Jo Harris, 38, apparently went into the line of fire and was hit in the arm early Tuesday morning, state police said. | "That's their story and they are sticking to it." |
She was taken to Somerset Hospital where she was in fair condition, said hospital spokesman Greg Chiappelli. Neither Rugg nor Harris could immediately be reached for comment. State police said they won't charge Rugg but advised against people shooting firearms indoors. | No word on if alcohol was involved. Like we have to ask. |
