A dangerous incident occurred at a gas station involving a truck and a dog following the unintentional discharge of a firearm. The incident unfolded when a truck owner entered the station, unaware that his dog, waiting patiently in the truck, would become involved in a hazardous situation. According to authorities, the dog jumped onto the rear seat while the owner was present.
During this movement, the dog stepped on a pistol that was stored in the truck. The firearm, loaded with a single bullet, was activated unintentionally by the dog’s actions. A bullet fired from the pistol penetrated the vehicle’s front door and traveled across the parking lot.
It struck a woman who was seated in a nearby vehicle approximately a few meters away. The woman sustained a wound to the upper portion of her right hand, which was positioned outside the vehicle window at the time. Emergency responders assessed the woman’s injuries, and she was transported for medical evaluation.
