Huntington Story

On Wednesday around 10 P.M., Janice Jones was shot in the leg in her motor home because her dog knocked over the gun, which then fired accidentally. 

 Janice was eating pork chops when the gun fell over onto the floor. Her motor home was in Barstow, California, near Highway1.

The 9mm gun fell off of the seat and immediately fired.

"After the gun fired, the bullet went through my leg and hit the side of my vehicle," Jones said. 

 Highway Patrol officer Tammy Rye is staying positive about the incident.

"It could have been much worse, the bullet hit two inches from the gas tank,"  highway patrol Rye said. 

Jones was soon treated for the wound properly after the incident. 

"Jones was transported to Huntington Beach Hospital via ambulance and was later transported to Irvine medical Center," highway patrol Rye said. 

Animal Control Officer Janet Ngo noticed that the dog seemed malnourished and had cigarette burns on its forehead. 

" It could have done with a little less abuse and a few more of those pork chops," Animal Control Rye said. 

Rye noticed a few more things out of place with Janice and her home. 

"Jones had expired plates and did not have a gun license, so the state can charge her for a few things," Highway patrol Rye said. 

The District Attorneys Office is unsure what to charge Jones for currently.
