Dog shoots owner
MEMPHIS- You hear all the time about dogs attacking humans, but never shooting them.
But that's exactly what happened early this morning in a freak accident in Raleigh. Memphis police say a great dane named King George accidentally knocked a gun off a table and shot his owner.
Terrance Brooks, a neighbor, says King George is big dog, but a sweet one. He says the dog is always excited to see him.
"He just runs up and starts licking on people and jumps on people a lot," said Brooks.
Memphis police say early this morning the dog got a little too excited and knocked a handgun gun off a table. The gun went off and shot the dog's owner in the back.
"The tail knocked the gun off the table and it accidentally discharged," said Sgt. Vince Higgins with the Memphis Police Department.
The shooting victim is now listed in stable condition at the med, but reportedly could have some permanent injuries. Police say this is a tragic lesson on gun safety.
