Folks, you can't just make stuff like this up: Laughing http://www.gazettetimes.com/news/local/m...002e0.html

Excerpt: "A Monroe man trying to shoot a squirrel wound up shooting himself.

Ethan Bennett, 36, told Benton County sheriff’s deputies he was at his residence at 24750 Cox Lane in Monroe about 4:15 p.m. Wednesday when he tried to shoot the rodent with a .22-caliber rifle.

The squirrel reportedly ran up his left leg, and he pulled the trigger, hitting himself in the foot.

Deputies contacted Bennett at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, where he drove himself after the accident. Law enforcement agencies investigate all gunshot wounds admitted to the hospital.

Hospital personnel said Bennett was treated and released.

Capt. Greg Ridler said Bennett did not kill the squirrel.

“The squirrel scared him,” Ridler said.

Bennett declined to comment about the incident."

Talk about 'weird news'..... You won't find that in a Beatrix Potter story.

Remember when The Josephine County Sheriffs needed ten grand for a new Que Nine? That came about because the first one they ordered turned out to be a "meth Dog" instead of a "Pot Dog" and they had to shoot it off of the deputy's leg.

Perhaps my view of the killing is inconsistent with the facts.
