Woman tries to kill mice, shoots self
This could have been a whole lot more serious. Hopefully there will be some thought processes invoked before something dumb like this is done again. ??? ??? A friend of mine said the Sheriff should recommend selling the gun and buying a good cat with the talent for chasing mice.
A Potter Valley woman wounded herself and a man July 3 while attempting to kill mice with a .44-caliber Magnum revolver, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office. The woman, 43, had drawn the gun from a holster under her left arm, intending to shoot mice scurrying across the floor of a small travel trailer on Highway 20 in Potter Valley, according to the Sheriff's Office. The revolver instead slipped from her hand and fired as it struck the floor, according to the Sheriff's Office. The bullet went through the woman's right kneecap, then hit keys hanging on the belt loop of a 42-year-old man in the trailer, officials said. The bullet glanced off the keys and tore a hole in the man's pants. The bullet grazed the man's groin before stopping in his coin pocket, where it was recovered for evidence, according to the Sheriff's Office. The names of the shooting victims were not released.

They should be considered very lucky. Bet that knee hurts a lot.

I've done that, but I used a bb gun (not a .44) and actually killed the mice

Jeez, that sounds like she must be related to that woman that tried to shoot a corn off the side of her big toe with a shotgun! A reporter was interviewing this woman's daughter at the hospital and asked if the daughter thought her mother would ever try anything like that again. The daughter replied, "I just hope she never has a bad headache!"
