A woman sitting in a vehicle at a traffic light was injured Saturday after a dog inside a truck accidentally fired a shotgun in Scottsbluff, Nebraska.

KNOP reported that Scottsbluff Police were called just after noon because “a person had been shot by a BB gun.” While heading to the scene they were told a person had actually been hit with shot from a shotgun shell.

Police then found a truck with an attached camper, the “passenger-side door panel of…[which] had taken damage consistent with a shotgun blast.” Officers learned that “a dog in the back seat moved from one side of the vehicle to the other…[and] triggered a shotgun that had a live shell in the chamber, causing the firearm to discharge.”

FOX8 noted that the shot “exited the parking lot and struck a woman who was stopped at a nearby traffic light.”

The woman received a non-life-threatening injury to her arm and was transported to a hospital.

KOZY 101.3 pointed out that police wanted to “[remind] gun owners that Nebraska law prohibits transporting a loaded shotgun in a vehicle.”
