78 year old Woman Trying to Kill Squirrel Shoots Herself - GoFuckYourself.com

LAPORTE, Ind. - A 78-year-old woman tired of squirrels raiding her bird feeder got out her shotgun to kill the critter, but instead accidentally shot and injured herself. Alberta Jones loaded her 16-gauge shotgun Sunday and carried it with the barrel pointed down to the back door to take aim, police said. The gun accidentally discharged, police said, and shotgun pellets ricocheted off the floor.

Both of her legs were struck by the pellets, and one in her knee required surgery Tuesday to remove.

Her hospital condition was not available Tuesday evening.

"I've tried everything to shag them away, and they keep coming back," Jones said of the squirrels after the incident.

Conservation officer Jerry Shepherd with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources said it is not squirrel season, and that hunting game out of season is a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum 60 days in jail and up to a $500 fine. Authorities are not pressing charges.

Jones vowed to keep shooting at squirrels and using firecrackers ? as she has done several times before ? to discourage them from getting into her bird feeder. She also shoots groundhogs and other animals she considers a nuisance.

"My neighbors used to call me Annie Oakley, now they call me peg leg." she said.

Neighbors? If I had a crazy old woman near me using a 16 guage shotgun to shoot at tiny targets I would insist she be removed & committed if they couldn't make her stop. Hasn't she ever heard of air pellets, BB guns or smaller caliber firearms?

This reminds me of my grandmother. Before she moved from her house she was bad to run get a gun and wave it around when the most minor of disturbances in the neighborhood would occur. One guy seriously threatened to have her arrested.
