A Memphis man was shot in the leg early Monday morning and said his 1-year-old pit bull, Oreo, pulled the trigger.
According to the police report, Jerald Kirkwood was in bed with a female friend around 4 a.m. when Oreo jumped on the bed, got his paw caught in the trigger guard, and discharged the gun.
Kirkwood sustained a grazing wound to his left thigh and was taken to the hospital in non-critical condition. His female friend reportedly left with the gun before paramedics arrived.
Authorities believe that the incident was an accidental injury, and the victim is expected to make a full recovery.
