Dog Accidentally Fires Gun, Injures Owner in Memphis

A playful pit bull triggered a firearm while jumping on a bed, grazing its owner's thigh in a non-critical incident.

The incident occurred in Memphis, Tennessee, when a one-year-old pit bull named Oreo accidentally discharged a firearm while jumping on a bed.
The dog's paw got caught in the gun's trigger guard, causing it to fire and graze the owner's left thigh.
The 39-year-old man was treated for a non-critical injury at a medical center after being initially assisted at the scene.
A female companion who was present at the time reportedly left the scene with the firearm before police arrived.
This event adds to a series of similar accidents in the U.S., where pets have unintentionally discharged firearms, sometimes with severe consequences.
